Digital Certificate for SSL communication
Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) 2
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a request sent to a CA in order to authenticate the credentials
contained within the certificate.
We recommend that the Root Certificate from the CA be installed on your computer before creating the
CSR.
a Click Create CSR.
b Enter a Common Name and your information, such as Organization.
Your company details are required so that a CA can confirm your identity and attest to the outside world.
• The length of the Common Name must be less than 64 characters. Enter an identifier such as an IP
address, node name or domain name to use when accessing this machine through SSL/TLS
communication. The node name is displayed by default. The Common Name is required.
• A warning will pop-up if you enter a different name in the URL than the Common Name that was used for
the certificate.
• The length of the Organization, the Organization Unit, the City/Locality and the State/Province must
be less than 64 characters.
•The Country/Region should be an ISO 3166 country code composed of two characters.
• If you are configuring the X.509v3 certificate extension, choose the Configure extended partition check
box and then choose Auto (Register IPv4) or Manual.
c You can choose the Public Key Algorithm and Digest Algorithm settings from the pull-down list. The
default settings are RSA(2048bit) for Public Key Algorithm and SHA256 for Digest Algorithm.
