DESCRIPTION

14       The  Nessus  Security  Scanner  protects  the communication between the
15       client and the server by using SSL. SSL requires the server to  present
16       a  certificate  to  the client, and the client can optionally present a
17       certificate to the server.
18
19       This script nessus-mkcert creates  a  certificate  authority  (if  none
20       exists already) and generates the server certificate.
