What is the openssl command i need to use for this?

Question

I need openssl to return two files ssl.pem and ca.crt

the ssl.pem is for my lighttpd webserver to give if they include https instead of http.

the ca.crt is what they must download from my site and then install on their computer.

I am using linux-mint with openssl installed by default.. I will transfer lots of my files over to a debian-based machine
