In all examples, we assume that the CA's private key is password protected, where the password is provided in the ``secret_ca_passphrase`` variable. diff --git a/docs/docsite/rst/guide_selfsigned.rst b/docs/docsite/rst/guide_selfsigned.rst index a9c30069..07746bcd 100644 --- a/docs/docsite/rst/guide_selfsigned.rst +++ b/docs/docsite/rst/guide_selfsigned.rst @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ How to create self-signed certificates ====================================== -The `community.crypto collection `_ offers multiple modules that create private keys, certificate signing requests, and certificates.

This guide shows how to create self-signed certificates. For creating any kind of certificate, you always have to start with a private key. You can use the :ref:`community.crypto.openssl_privatekey module ` to create a private key. If you only specify ``path``, the default parameters will be used. This will result in a 4096 bit RSA private key:
