       make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil [--force-overwrite]

DESCRIPTION

       make-ssl-cert  is  a simple debconf to openssl wrapper to create self-signed certificates.  It requires a
       source template (Ex: /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf) and it will place the new generated  certificate  in
       the specified output file.
       Invoked  with  "generate-default-snakeoil",  it  will  generate  /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and
       /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.

       --force-overwrite
              Use this option ONLY when strictly required since it will overwrite the output certificate.
