Generate a CSR and Obtain a Self-Signed Certificate from a CA
To use a self-signed certificate, you first must request the digital certificate from a CA and
download and activate the digital certificate on the VPN firewall. To request a self-signed
certificate from a CA, you must generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for and on the
VPN firewall. The CSR is a file that contains information about your company and about the
device that holds the certificate. Refer to the CA for guidelines about the information that you
must include in your CSR.
To generate a new CSR file, obtain a digital certificate from a CA, and upload it to the
