how to set-up SSL on google app engine (custom domain name )

Question

Google just announced SSL support for custom domain but I can't understand how it can be set-up as there is no way to generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on GAE ?!

Answer 1

To expand on the above:

The following three steps should be sufficient to generate a private key and a self-signed certificate suitable for testing SSL on GAE on a linux box:

• openssl genrsa -out yourdomain.com.key 1024
• openssl req -new -key yourdomain.com.key -out yourdomain.com.csr
• openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in yourdomain.com.csr -signkey yourdomain.com.key -out yourdomain.com.crt

Disclaimer: It works but I do not know what I'm doing
