Appendix - How to Create Certificate

; above /etc/landscape/landscape_server.pem is created automatically by landscape-server-quickstart, you can also do it by hand.
; create your own CA (Certificate Authority), then we will have ./demoCA/private/cakey.pem
; refer https://help.landscape.canonical.com/LDS/SSL
/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca
; generate an SSL certificate signed by your new CA, then we will have newkey.pem
/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq-nodes
; sign your newly created SSL certificate with your newly created CA, then we will have newcert.pem
/usr/lib/ssl/misc/CA.pl -signreq
; install the files to Landscape
sudo mv newcert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/landscape.pem
sudo mv newkey.pem /etc/ssl/private/landscape.key
sudo cp demoCA/cacert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/landscape_server_ca.crt
; make Landscape Clients trust the newly created CA
copy /etc/ssl/certs/landscape_server_ca.crt from the LDS server to the client's directory /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ and run 'sudo update-ca-certificates'.
; adding the certificate file to /etc/landscape/client.conf
ssl_public_key = /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/landscape_server_ca.crt
