Generate a CSR


To generate a CSR for a Key Pair:
  1. Right-click on the Key Pair entry in the KeyStore Entries table. Select Generate CSR from the pop-up menu.

  2. If required the Unlock Entry dialog will be displayed. Enter the Key Pair entry's password and press the OK button.

  3. The Generate CSR dialog is displayed. Select a Format and Signature Algorithm and enter a Challenge.

  4. For PKCS#10 format you can optionally enter a company name (which becomes an "unstructuredName" attribute in the request) and/or add the extensions from the certificate to the request. The latter is useful for SSL certificates with SubjectAlternativeName extensions.

  5. Use the Browse button to select a CSR File.

  6. Press the OK button to commence generation and produce the CSR.
