If you ever have an issue similar to below on debian or ubuntu
svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_GB.UTF-8 svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
then run the following command to fix the problem, obviously choosing your locale, in my case for debian wheezy, I chose 122, which was `en_GB.UTF-8`
dpkg-reconfigure locales
First create a Private Key to sign the certificate
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Create CSR
openssl req -new -out arif-ali.csr -key server.key \ -subj "/C=GB/ST=South Yorkshire/L=Sheffield/O=Example Inc/OU=Web Dept/CN=example.com" \ -out server.csr
Decrypt the private key
cp server.key server.key.org openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
Sign the Certificate with the private key
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key \ -out server.crt
You can generate a fingerprint for a public key using ssh-keygen like so
ssh-keygen -lf /path/to/key.pub
Concrete example (if you use an RSA public key):
$ ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 2048 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa
