Installation Cert stuff

To run the passbook server you need a certificate and a private key. The certificate is used to sign the passbook files and the private key is used to sign the push notifications. The certificate and the private key are stored in the config file of the passbook server.

this is the overall process to get the necessary certificates for issuing passes

prepare key and CSR for requesting a certificate from apple

• create your own private key

$ openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048

• create a certificate signing request (CSR) with the private key

$ openssl req -new -key private.key -out request.csr -subj="/emailAddress=[your email addr],CN=[your full name],C=[your country ISO code]"
