Self-Signed Certificates Made Easy with PowerShell GUI

September 21, 2025 04:22PM

I was delivering few demos for Azure Application Gateway client side, I got information, there will be very limited Internet and only specific things will work in the given environment. In one of the demo I wanted to created few Self Signed SSL Certificates for Azure Application Gateway. In the demonstration, instead showing some complex and boring command lines to create Self Signed Certificates, I created below PowerShell GUI One Click Key and Self Signed Certificate Generator, To look little cool in presentation. After launching certificate tool utility looks like below.

After configuring and defining settings such as location password for Certificate in the utility, Click Generate Cert button, which will generate all self signed certificate files as shows below with Self Signed RootCA. By clicking Create Zip button, it will compress and create a Zip file for entire files inside defined folder.

Next article: Terraform String Encoding and Decoding with PowerShell

Download this script Powershell_Self_Signed_Certificate.ps1 here or it is also available on github.com.
