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
