- Select the option to save the certificate in disk instead of sending over email.
- Save the certificate request on the Desktop with standard file name. The request file can be reviewed on any regular text editor.

- Change the Name to ‘XPTO’s CA’.
- Make sure de Identity Type is set as Self Signed Root CA.
- Select the User Certificate as ‘SSL Server’.
- Type the email for the [email protected].
- Keep it as the default CA and press the Create button.

- Press the Create button to complete the process. Mail app will open to send the certificate, cancel the sending and quit Mail app.
- The Certification Assistant will show certificate information. For now, the server2.xpto.inc server certificate is not trusted because its issuer XPTO CA is not trusted in the server.
- Open the Keychain Access by type <Command>-<Space> and type ‘keychain’ on Spotlight Search.
- On the left pane, click on the Logins pane to list both root and server CA.
- Go to the ‘System’ pane and confirm if the XPTO’s CA is listed there as not trusted, with a red X sign. Double-click it to edit information and change the the Trust setting: When Using This Certificate to ‘Always Trust’.
- After confirming the change with the Administrator password, the red X will turn into a blue + signal.
- Go back to the Login pane and make sure the server2.xpto.inc is trusted now and has its signal turned into blue +. Move this certificate to the System pane so the certificate is available system wide.
- You should see the server2.xpto.inc now as trusted by XPTO’s CA.
- Go back to the Certificates pane in the Server app and select the Secure services using: server2.xpto.inc – XPTO’s CA. You should see that all services are now using the standard server certificate issued by the root CA for XPTO. When this root CA is also trusted into client and other servers, client software will trust server2.xpto.inc hostname certificate.
- To test the certificate from the server computer, go to the Websites pane on the Server app, turn it on, and click on the Server site (SSL) option. It will open Safari automatically to https://server2.xpto.inc
