Self Sign
Ensure this checkbox is selected, which indicates that you are
creating a self-signed certificate.
Validity in days This field appears after the Self Sign checkbox is selected. Type the
number of days for which the self-signed certificate will be valid.
Note: All fields in the Subject section are mandatory, except for the
Organization, Organizational Unit and Email Address fields.
A password is not required for a self-signed certificate so the
Challenge and Confirm Challenge fields disappear after the Self Sign
checkbox is selected.
