For Windows systems with installed Java JDK or JRE, the easy way for this process is use keytool. The command for generate this certificate must be similar to this structure:

keytool -genkey -alias KEYSERVERDOMAIN -keyalg RSA -keypass KEYSERVERPASS -keystore KEYSTOREFILE -storepass KEYSTOREPASSWORD -validity VALIDITYDAYS -keysize KEYSIZE
