Generating certificate signing requests

About this task

To generate a CSR:

Steps

  1. Click Security, then go to Key Pairs > Key Pairs.

  2. Click the Pencil icon, then click Generate CSR for the certificate that you want to generate a CSR for.

    Result:

    PingAccess generates a CSR file, and your browser downloads it.

  3. Provide this file to a certificate authority (CA).

    The 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.

Next steps

When you receive the CSR response, follow the instructions in Importing certificate signing request responses.
