SSL Makefile
This Makefile makes creating SSL certificates easier.

Dependencies are OpenSSL and automake.

Just copy the code into a file called Makefile and run make help in that direktory to get some help and get started.

Signed certificates with self made CA
I recommend not signing the certificates with an own CA cert. Some browsers refuse to accept that certificate, and in case of Firefox, it doesn't even allow to make an exception and use it anyway.

It simply won't work.

It's preferable to use a self-signed certificate in case for testing, and in case a CA signed certificate is not needed.

Using a cnf
I suggest using a server.cnf when making multiple certificates. The file accept one ca.cnf and a server.cnf, for CA certificates and server certificates, respectively.
