Generating a CSR and private key Generating a CSR and private key
Click "System Configuration" in the navigation bar and then click "ACS Certificate Setup". Click "Generate Certificate Signing Request". The CiscoSecure ACS will display a table of data for your request.
How to input your CSR information How to input your CSR information
You will need to provide your common name (CN), organization (O), country (C), state (ST), and locality/city (L). If you are an international customer, you may use your country name in the state field. Please spell out all state and city abbreviations. If your business is in Texas, please use "Texas" rather than "TX.

Your data will need to be separated with commas like the following sample data:

CN=www.trustwave.com, O=Trustwave, C=US, ST=Texas, L=San Antonio

Creating a private key Creating a private key
There will be a box asking for a private key filename. In that field, type in a location and filename for the private key, for example:

c:\keys\private.key

The location in which you save the file is up to you.

After that, you will need to create a password for this private key and re-type it below. Keep your password safe - if you lose it, your private key will be useless and your encryption will no longer function.

Select 1024 bits for the key length, and select SHA1 for the digest.

Now click "submit" to create your CSR and private key simultaneously.

Submit the CSR to Trustwave Submit the CSR to Trustwave
The Cisco ACS will display a CSR in the display area in text form. You can copy and paste the CSR directly from the Cisco ACS, or copy and paste it into notepad. From there, you can paste the CSR text directly into the Trustwave Control Center. Please be sure to include the dashed lines at the top and bottom of the certificate.
