Openssl can help you to build own CA (and server cert from thisCA) or just issue self-signed certificate

Yes you can generate a localized cert to your website for testing purposes. How you go about doing it will certainly depend on what web server you are going to use.

Generating doesn't depends from used webserver, only enabling on server – Lazy Badger Nov 12 '11 at 14:38
true but the process for generate is different from apache, to IIS, to nginx. No?? Perhaps MrXEe can elaborate on the help they are requiring? – organicit Nov 15 '11 at 23:46
"true but the process for generate is different from apache, to IIS, to nginx. No??" - I'm not sure what you can't use prepared by 3-rd party cert+privkey files in IIS: never used IIS, and httpsin nginx also... can make mistake – Lazy Badger Nov 15 '11 at 23:54
