User's Manual 11. Configuring SSL/TLS Certificates
11.2 Assigning CSR-based Certificates to TLS Contexts
The following procedure describes how to request a digitally signed certificate from a
Certification Authority (CA) for a TLS Context. This process is referred to as a certificate
signing request (CSR) and is required if your organization employs a Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) system. The CSR contains information identifying the device (such as a
distinguished name in the case of an X.509 certificate).
 To assign a CSR-based certificate to a TLS Context:
1. Your network administrator should allocate a unique DNS name for the device (e.g.,
dns_name.corp.customer.com). This DNS name is used to access the device and
therefore, must be listed in the server certificate.
2. Open the TLS Contexts page (Configuration tab > System menu > TLS Contexts).
3. In the table, select the required TLS Context index row, and then click the TLS
Context Certificate button, located below the table; the Context Certificates page
appears.
4. Under the Certificate Signing Request group, do the following:
a. In the 'Subject Name [CN]' field, enter the DNS name.
b. Fill in the rest of the request fields according to your security provider's
instructions.
c. Click the Create CSR button; a textual certificate signing request is displayed in
the area below the button:
