There are time we might need a certificate, for example, to set up Azure Service Principle without using secret. We can use PowerShell or OpenSSL to generate self-signed certificate.
# 1. Config $certname = "SQLDataExportCert" # password for secure the private key file # use single quote to quote the string, to handle special character like $ $pwdstring = 'YourSecurePassword' # Define the expiration date (e.g., 5 years from today) $expiryDate = (Get-Date).
