…using another library allows you to drop one you were using for another feature. For example: use OpenSSL for both certificate signing and random token generation and drop Mongoid::Token.
Check if the new dependency has dependencies itself and weigh it against the benefit of using it. For example: use Net/ HTTP for that one HTTP call instead of depending on HTTParty.

You'll be prompted to complete the certificate details. Answer each of the questions to complete the request. Then we generate the self-signed certificate: $ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in csr.pem -signkey privatekey.pem -out server.cr …
