How to generate an SSL Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in a non-paneled environment
NOTE: If you have purchased an SSL Certificate from us, we will handle everything from the certificate signing request to the installation of the signed certificate.
If you are using cPanel or Plesk, please find the proper article that will provide the instructions. If you do no have a panel installed, please continue on.
Edit openssl.cnf which should usually be located in the /usr/share/ssl directory and be sure you set the following:
Name
Company Name
City
State
Country (2 digit country code will be entered into the conf)
Email Address (must be webmaster or hostmaster @domain)
Generate the private key:
# openssl genrsa -out host.key 1024
# chmod 400 host.key
Replace 'host.key' above with domain as specified in the ticket. eg. www..com.
Generate CSR (Cetfificate Signing Request):
# openssl req -new -nodes -key host.key -out host.csr
