+Usage
+=====
+These scripts are useful to generate the server's self-signed certificate.
+## Root Certification Authority ##
+`gen_root.sh`
+This will create a rootCA.crt file that you may copy in the d4-goclient conf folder to verify the server's cert.
+## Server certificate ##
+### Configuration Files ###
+Look into these files if you plan to verify the certificate:
+  * san.cnf holds basic information about the certificate.
+  * ext.3 holds in particular the 'subjectAltNames** option that is for the verification to succeed.
+
+ ### Generation ###
+`gen_root.sh`
