Managing Certificate Signing Requests
Create a new Certificate Signing Request
The New Certificate Request page gathers the required information and creates a certificate signing request (CSR). Once you've created the CSR, you can forward it to a Certificate Authority (CA) for signing. Note that only PEM format (base64 encoded) certificates are supported. DER format (binary) certificates are not supported and will result in an error. Be sure to inform your Certificate Authority that the signed certificate should be supplied in PEM format.
