Self-signed Code Signing Certificate

To create the code signing certificate using PowerShell (using Administrator prompt):

$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -Subject "My Certificate" -Type CodeSigning -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\My -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(100)

To export the certificate from the certificate store:

$certPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "passwordhere" -Force –AsPlainText
$cert | Export-PfxCertificate -FilePath "mycert.pfx" -Password $certPassword

Create Self Signed Certificate using OpenSSL on a Mac

Introduction

Every now and then I need to create a self signed certificate in azure for something. In my particular case its Azure B2C. I am using a mac so its not simply just running something like

New-SelfSignedCertificate `
    -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
    -Subject "CN=yourappname.yourtenant.onmicrosoft.com" `
 -KeyAlgorithm RSA `

	$user = 'user'
	$pass = 'pass'
	$uri = '<url>'

	$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"

	$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

	$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
