Powershell command to generate a self-signed SSL certificate

 Generating the certificate

To generate a self-signed SSL certificate using Powershell run the following command.

New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName localhost -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My

You can also replace "localhost" with the hostname if you like.

New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName devbox -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My

To include multiple domains or subdomains, separate them with commas.

New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName "devbox.local", "www.devbox.local" -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My

2. Open the "File" menu and select "Add/Remove Snap-in"

11. Specify a file path to export the .pfx file to, then click "Next".
    
12. Review your export options and then click "Finish".
    
13. You should see a message that "The export was successful". Click "OK".
    
14. Navigate to Console Root > Certificates - Current User > Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates.
    
15. Right-click on the "Certificates" node, then choose All Tasks > Import...
