This is a faster way to do the same:

$ openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -days 9999 -nodes -x509 \
  -subj "/C=US/O=Example Inc./CN=example.com" \
  -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

I use the wrong way to create certificate.

This one is wrong:

openssl genrsa -out key.pem
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in csr.pem -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem

This is the way to create certificate that could use:

openssl genrsa -out client-key.pem 2048
openssl req -new -key client-key.pem -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -signkey client-key.pem -out client-cert.pem
