Creating a certificate signing request (CSR)
Use the Certificate Signing functionality to generate and save a CSR file to submit it to a certificate authority (CA) for a signed certificate.
Steps
-
On the SSL Client Keys & Certificates window, select Certificate Signing for the certificate.
This selection is inactive if you have not yet saved a newly created or imported certificate. Click Save and then return to this window to initiate the process.
The selection is also inactive if a previously signed certificate is revoked. Because the revocation could indicate that the private key is compromised, the best practice is to import or create a replacement certificate for certificate signing.
-
On the Certificate Signing tab, select the Generate CSR option.
-
On the Generate CSR tab, click Export to save the CSR file, and then click Done.
Once saved, you can submit this CSR file to a certificate authority for a CA-signed certificate.
