Instructions

Installation:

1. Download the latest ZIP file and unpack into a web-accessible directory (e.g. /var/httpd/htdocs/myca or C:\LocalhostWeb\myca).

2. Open your browser and navigate to the docroot/index.php file:
   http://localhost/myca/docroot/index.php

3. You should be prompted to log in. Just type in the password you want to use as the main password. As long as no password is already set, MyCA will accept that as the new password to use.

NOTE: If you want to change the password later, delete the logincheck.dat file inside the data folder.

Creating a Certificate Authority (CA):

You need at least one CA in the system before you can create new certificates, so if this is your first time (or if you want to create another CA), follow the below instructions:

1. Click on "Create CA" in the top menu.
2. Fill out the form and submit it.

Creating an SSL Certificate:

1. Click on "Create SSL Cert" in the top menu.
2. Select the CA that you want to issue the new certificate and submit the form.
3. Fill out the details of the next form (in most cases, you'll just want to change the Common Name to whatever domain you want to secure) and submit the form.

Downloading the Certificates:

1. Click on "View SSL Certs" in the top menu.

2. Click on any of the certificate links to download the certificate or key. You'll probably want to install the CA public key onto your systems as a trusted root CA so that any certificates you issue with it will not complain.

NOTE: (To help protect the downloads from static links, time-based tokens are used, so the page will automatically refresh every 50 seconds.)
