Ordering an SSL certificate subscription

Complete the following steps to order a Subscription to an SSL Certificate:

8. In The certificate request (CSR) field, enter the certificate request that has been generated recently or leave this field blank to generate the request automatically.

   A CSR is an encoded file that provides you with a standardized way to send your public key with some information that identifies your company and domain name. It is usually generated on the server where the certificate will be installed and contains information that will be included in the certificate such as the organization name, common name (domain name), locality, and country. A private key is usually created at the same time that you create the CSR.

9. Click Next. If The certificate request (CSR) field was blank, the Workspace displays the elements for the request creation.
   
   
   
   Fill the following fields on the Parameters group:
   

   • Bits — the length of the private key (minimum 2048 bit).

   • Common name (domain name) — the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server. It must exactly match the domain or subdomain for which you are ordering SSL (e.g. *.example.com).

   • Country — the two-letter ISO code for the country where the company is located.

   • Email — an email address used to contact the organization.

   • Location (city) — the city where the organization is located.
