Run the command in a terminal (pay attention that you should replace 'your_merchant_id' in filenames by the actual Merchant ID number):

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha1 -keyout 'your_merchant_id'.pem -config config.dat -out xs_'your_merchant_id'_cert.crt

openssl rsa -in 'your_merchant_id'.pem -pubout > 'your_merchant_id'.pub
