Step 2: Generate your Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

  2. Fill in all the fields with the appropriate information. Make sure that the Common Name you specify will be the actual domain name that you want to use your SSL certificate with.
  3. Click the Choose... and select the private key file you created.
    Note: If you have a private key password, please enter it in the field
  4. Click the Create button to generate your Certificate Signing Request.
