Generate Certificate, Python app, OPC-UA Server <> OPC- UA Client

i've written a small OPC-UA-Client in Python which acts as datalogger for PLC's with integrated OPC-UA Server.

The Connection with no security works fine but i want to secure it with a certificate.

I can import trusted certificates to the server and export the server certificate but how can i generate my own certificate ?

Thanks

You can use openssl to generate your own self-Signed certificate. https://www.openssl.org/source/

Be Carefull with the extensions tho sometimes they demand .der .cer or as .pem and you might get an outform .crt.

How to create them:

If you show your program maybe I can help you out.
