NAME
       openvas-mkcert - Creates a server certificate

SYNOPSIS
       openvas-mkcert [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION
       The OpenVAS 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 openvas-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
