Creating a EON ZFS storage self signed certificate

Your EON ZFS storage is available with 3 web server options, apache2(default), lighttpd, and nginx. They are provided with a self signed certificate that I created to simplify configuration and ease getting them started. The proper thing to do is replace it with your own certificate or create a self signed replacement.

Prerequisite(s): This requires the binary kit or an alternate system with a working openssl, to create your own self signed certificate.
The "\" means the command is one continuous line to create the self signed certificate. Feel free to experiment and substitute your own arguments for:
days = set to 365 x 10 = 3650 or ~10 yrs
CN = $HOSTNAME = replace with your own storage hostname
O = Gibraltar Engineering
OU = EON Secure Certificate

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout cert.key -out cert.pem \
-subj "/C=US/ST=NY/CN=$HOSTNAME/O=Gibraltar Engineering/OU=EON Secure Certificate"

This will produce 2 files cert.key and cert.pem. For Apache2 they are configured and the proper permissions set as follows:

cp cert.pem /etc/apache2/2.2/server.crt
cp cert.key /etc/apache2/2.2/server.key
chmod 400 /etc/apache2/2.2/server.crt
chmod 400 /etc/apache2/2.2/server.key

For lighttpd the pem and key file are concatenated to create a single file

cp cert.pem /your_pool/lighttpd/etc
cat cert.key >> /your_pool/lighttpd/etc/cert.pem
chmod 400 /your_pool/lighttpd/etc/cert.pem

For nginx

cp cert.pem /your_pool/nginx/conf
cp cert.key /your_pool/nginx/conf
chmod 400 /your_pool/nginx/conf/cert.pem
chmod 400 /your_pool/nginx/conf/cert.key
