Comment 45 for bug 77675

All of this would be vaguely tolerable if, of course, you could easily create a self signed cert using the ubuntu openssl package, as elucidated here :

http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC28

However, the current feisty dist doesn't include the needed signing script sign.sh from the source dist, at least not that I could see.

You can however, find the script here : http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/apache/setup-apache2-with-openssl.html

(referenced for anyone else trying to do this !)
