# config
# ssl
# key new_key create
# genrsa bits 1024 encrypt des output new_key

Those commands will create a 1024-bit private key (1024 is recommended) and save it as new_key. You will be asked to enter a password and confirm it. Do not lose this password - if you do lose the password, the private key will be rendered useless.

# gencsr key new_key

This example uses new_key as the name of the key generated in the previous step. Be sure to replace this with the name of your key that you previously generated.

As you generate the CSR, please remember a few things: Use the country/state/city that your company operates within, and please do not use abbreviations. If your business is in Texas, use "Texas" for the state rather than "TX". For our international customers, you may use your country name in the state field if your country does not have states or provinces. When you complete the organization field, please include the full name of your organization as it is registered. Be sure to include any applicable suffixes, such as "Inc" or "LLC".

After completing those questions, the CSR will be displayed in text form. Copy the entire CSR - including the dashed lines at the top and bottom - and paste it into the Trustwave Control Center.
