Use the Certificate Signing functionality to generate and save a
CSR file to submit it to a certificate authority (CA) for a signed
certificate.
-
On the Signing & Decryption Keys & Certificates
window, select Certificate Signing for the
certificate.
Note:
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.
Note:
Once saved, you can submit this CSR file to a certificate authority for a
CA-signed certificate.
