Configuring HTTPS for the Administrator Tool Using a Certificate Signed by a Certificate Authority

Step 2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request

Step 2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request

To create a certificate signed by a certificate authority, you must generate a certificate signing request (CSR) and send the CSR to a certificate authority.
  1. To generate a CSR, run the keytool utility with the certreq option using the following syntax:
    keytool –certreq -keyalg RSA –alias <KeystoreAlias> –file <CSRPathFileName> -keystore <KeystorePathFileName>
    Use the same keystore alias and file name that you used with the genkey option.
    For example, run the following command:
    keytool –certreq -keyalg RSA –alias admintool –file admintool.csr -keystore admintool.keystore
  2. Submit the text from the generated CSR to a certificate authority to get a digital certificate.
