Generating certificate signing requests
Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to establish more security and trust than using a self-signed certificate.
Steps
-
Click Security and then go to Key Pairs → Key Pairs.
-
Click the Pencil icon, and then click Generate CSR for the certificate you want to generate a CSR for.
Result:
PingAccess generates a CSR file, and your browser downloads it.
-
Provide this file to a certificate authority (CA).
The certificate authority (CA) signs the file and provides a CSR response that you can upload and use to replace the self-signed certificate. If the CA is well known, its certificates are installed by default in most browsers, and the user is not prompted to trust an unknown certificate.
-
When you receive the CSR response, follow the instructions in Importing certificate signing request responses.
