SSL Configuration

I'm being told my Arch Linux database server requires SSL 256-bit encryption for client to server communication. I made sure that I have 'openssl' installed but no certificates have yet to be generated. I was wondering if the following is sufficient:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure

mv server.key server.key.secure

mv server.key.insecure server.key

Does that work or is there a better / secure way to do this?
