Once the server is created or modified with SSL enabled, you can generate one or more PEM-encoded certificate requests.
Note:
You must first assign the certificate template to an app server, as described in Enabling SSL for an App Server, before you can generate a certificate request.
-
Click Security in the left tree menu.
-
Click Certificate Templates in the left tree menu.
-
Click the certificate template name on the left tree menu. The Configure certificate template page appears.
-
Click the Request tab. The Generate Certificate Request page appears:

-
Select either All or Only those that are needed for missing, expired, self-signed, or out of date certificates that are not already pending, then click OK.
-
The certificate template Status page appears. Click Download to download the certificate request to your file system.

-
If the file does not already have a ‘zip’ extension, rename the file by replacing the ‘xqy’ extension with ‘zip’.
-
Send the zip file containing the certificate requests to a Certificate Authority, such as Verisign.
