how to generate apns certificate in openshift server

I am trying to use push notifications through my nodejs server deployed in openshift rehat server. I could not find any documentation/discussion to generate apns certificate in openshift.

I tried generating a certificate, but getting an error while generating CSR using this command

openssl genrsa -out sz.key 2048

Error: unable to write 'random state' e is 65537 (0x10001)

After some googling, I see one option is to use aerogear. But I want to use my own server to handle the notifications.

Is there any other option to generate a certificate in openshift server?

Thanks developercorey for your help. But i still see the error.

Finally generated certificate for my openshift server using this script

openssl x509 -in aps_production.cer -inform DER -out myProdCert.pem

The private key associated with the SSL certificate can be exported from the Keychain Access application on your Mac computer. - mykey.p12

openssl pkcs12 -in mykey.p12 -out myProdKey.pem -nodes -clcerts
openssl s_client -connect gateway.push.apple.com:2195 -cert myProdCert.pem -key myProdKey.pem

Hopefully this will help somebody.

Try this command: 

HOME=~/app-root/data/  openssl genrsa -out sz.key 2048

Basically it is trying to write some temp data into your $HOME, but you can't write to that directory, so it won't work, but it does give somewhat of a cryptic error message.
