openvas-mkcert(8) - Linux man page
Name
openvas-mkcert - Creates a scanner certificate
Synopsis
openvas-mkcert [ -q ]
Description
The OpenVAS Security Scanner protects the communication between the client and the scanner by using SSL. SSL requires the scanner to present a certificate to the client, and the client can optionally present a certificate to the scanner.
This script openvas-mkcert creates a certificate authority (if none exists already) and generates the scanner certificate.
Options
-q quickly generates a new certificate, without asking any question
