hello, In C# our maintainance project, we observered that the previous company has a root certificate. This certificate is valid in domain only, for 2020. How can they create such a root certificate free. Can anyone guide us.
Thanks in advance

Anyone can create a certificate using Makecert.exe. But it obviously won't be from a trusted authority.
You can manage certificates with certmgr.exe

I believe GoDaddy issues generic certificates (we have one here). They cost a little more, but cover the sub-domains.
If you are asking for how to do it for free. You need to set up a certificate server (or use makecert like Mitch said if you don't care about a trusted certificate), and become a certificate authority (I don't mean like GoDaddy etc., although they are one). To get people to accept the certificate, you need them to trust the authority.
