Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

The Generate CSR function allows you to create a signing request for your Certificate, that you will send to a
Certificate Authority (CA)
for signing. This function is needed if your trading partner(s) require your Certificates to be signed by a CA (not self-signed). Signed Certificates are also required for HTTPS web sites.
Follow the instructions below to generate a CSR:
  1. From the main menu, select
    Encryption
    , and then click the
    SSL Certificate Manager
    link.
  2. Select the
    Open Key Store
    button and choose a Key Store. Certificates are commonly created in the Default Private Keys Store.
  3. In the
    Certificate Manager
    page, select the icon for the Certificate and then click the Generate CSR button. If no Certificates exist, create a SSL Certificate.
  4. Using the File Download box, save the file on your local computer. The file name is constructed by the system using the Certificate's Alias with a .csr extension.
  5. Send this file to a Certificate Authority (CA) for signing.
    The Certificate Authority (CA) will review your CSR and return a reply. The reply will contain the
    digital signature
    of the CA. This reply can be imported using the Import CA Reply function.
