gen_csr <base path>

Generates a certificate signing request using the key made by gen_key()

gen_crt <base path>

Generates either a self-signed CA certificate using the csr and key made by gen_csr() and gen_key() or a signed server certificate using the CA cert previously created by gen_crt()

Access: private

gen_pem <base path>

Generates a PEM file by concatinating the key and cert file created by gen_key() and gen_cert()
