5. After completing the information, click Generate CSR. The new encryption
keys and certificate are generated. This process might take several minutes. A

The file produced when you create a certificate signing request is in DER
format. If your certificate authority expects the data in some other format, such
as PEM, the file can be converted using a third-party tool such as OpenSSL
(http://www.openssl.org). If the certificate authority asks you to copy the
contents of the certificate signing request file into a Web browser window, PEM
format is usually expected.
The command for converting a certificate signing request from DER to PEM
format using OpenSSL is similar to the following:
openssl req -in csr.der -inform DER -out csr.pem -outform PEM
