NAME
nessus-mkcert - Creates a server certificate
SYNOPSIS
nessus-mkcert [ -q ]
DESCRIPTION
The Nessus Security Scanner protects the communication between the
client and the server by using SSL. SSL requires the server to present
a certificate to the client, and the client can optionally present a
certificate to the server.
This script nessus-mkcert creates a certificate authority (if none
exists already) and generates the server certificate.
OPTIONS
-q quickly generates a new certificate, without asking any question
