Just use the script you've been given (sign.sh). Follow each step in the instructions just as it is written. The main steps are: - make a Certificate Authority (CA) key and certificate (this allows you to pretend you are Verisign). - make a website key for your site. - make a website Certificate Signing Request for your website (this is the thing you would send to Verisign and which turns into a certificate). - sign the CSR using the CA cert -> outputs a certificate. You need a key and a certificate for your site to work.
