Step 2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request

After you generate the private key, generate a certificate signing request (CSR). The CSR can be used in one of two ways. You can send the CSR to a certificate authority, such as Thawte or Verisign, who will verify the identity of the requestor and issue a signed certificate. You can also use the following command to self-sign:

openssl req -new -key <name>.key -out <name>.csr

Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:
	State or Province Name (full name) [SampleProvince]:
	Locality Name (eg, city) [Madison]:
	Organization Name (eg, company) [SampleOrg]:
	Second Organization Name (eg, company) [Computer Sciences Department]:
	Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [INFA_sample Project]:
	Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: <Fully Qualified Domain Name ie hostname with domain name>
	Email Address []:

The default values as shown above in square brackets are from the configuration file. You can input any value or use the default. For common name, provide the fully-qualified domain name of the server for which the certificate is being generated. For example, if the hostname is abc and the domain name is dom.com, the common name is abc.dom.com.
