Creating a Self-Signed SAN Certificate on Ubuntu (Which Makes Chrome Happy)
Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/17/2019 - 1:19pmAs a developer, you often need to create a secure environment on a real server (not just localhost) while you test things out, prepare for demonstrations, etc. This blog post will go over how to create not just a self-signed certificate (which is free), but how to also configure it as a "SAN" or Subject Alternative Names certificate.
This so-called SAN certificate is important later, if we want to let our desktop Chrome automatically accept it and not show a privacy warning screen.
