Before you can create a private key and CSR, you will first need to create a new
key database file. To do so, start ikeyman and select "New" from the
"Key Database File" menu. Enter a name for the new database and press "OK". Create a password
and confirm it, then click "OK".
Open the database that you just created in ikeyman and click "Create".
Click on "New Certificate Request" and enter the information into the form. Be sure to choose
1024 bits for the key size. When you enter in your company information, be sure to keep a
few things in mind:
Country/State/City - Enter the locality information based on where your business operates,
not where your server is located. Spell out all state and city information. For example,
if your business operates in Texas, use "Texas" for the state, rather than "TX". If you are
an international customer in a country without states or provinces, please use your country
name in the state field.
Organization - Please use your full, unabbreviated legal business name including any applicable
suffix, such as "Inc" or "LLC". If your company name is registered in an abbreviated form,
then you may use abbreviations if you would like to do so.
Common Name - This is where you type the web address of your site.
For example, www.securetrust.com and xramp.com
are both acceptable. Please do not include http:// or https://.
Once you've entered all of the data, click "OK".
