Use the CSR to obtain a Server Certificate via a Certificate Issuer

See Also

Once you have generated a CSR, you are now ready to submit it to a Certificate issuer like VeriSign. To obtain a VeriSign ID, for example, you can do this by going to:

https://digitalid.verisign.com/server/enrollStep4.htm

In the resulting text box labeled "CSR", enter the contents of the CSR file you have created. One way of doing this is to open the file using notepad, and to copy and paste the contents.

Here is an example of a CSR file:

Webmaster: webmaster@mycompany.com

Phone: 011-9990999

Server: Microsoft Key Manager for IIS Version 4.0

Common-name: azuurmees.mycompany.coml

Organization Unit: INT

Organization: My Company

Locality: Naarden

Country: NL
