Generating and Downloading Certificate Requests

Once the server is created or modified with SSL enabled, you can generate one or more PEM-encoded certificate requests.

1. Click Security in the left tree menu.

2. Under Security, click Certificate Templates in the left tree menu.

3. Click the certificate template name. The Configure tab opens.

4. Click the Request tab. The Generate Certificate Request page appears.

5. Select either All or Only those that are needed for missing, expired, temporary, or out of date certificates that are not already pending.

6. Click OK.

7. The certificate template Status page appears. Click Download to download the certificate request to your file system.

8. If the file does not already have a ‘zip’ extension, rename the file by replacing the existing file extension with ‘zip’.

9. Send the zip file containing the certificate requests to a Certificate Authority, such as Verisign.
