Question
We have an on premise web site which needs to communicate with windows azure service and sql azure service.
I need to create a self signed certificate but makecer.exe is not available on web service. Could someone please confirm whether I must create the self signed on specific on premise web server or I can create on any machine and install on web server?
Thanks.

OTHER TIPS
You can use this free Self Signed Certificate Generator (http://www.itiverba.com/en/software/itisscg.php) to create self-signed certificates.
If you create the certificate on another comuter than your server, just export the certificate in a PFX file including the private Key and then copy the PFX on your server and install the certificate AND its private key.
If you use a Linux server, the tool allows you to export the certificate in PEM files.
