You might find a bunch of guides online that give you ways to do it
using openssl, but C5 has a Makefile already set up to do this for
you.  Steps:
1. cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
2. make testcert
3. restart apache

The default ssl.conf file points to the localhost.* files that are
generated by this command.
