Creating the CSR Creating the CSR
Run the Management Console and expand the Internet Information Server. Also expand the name of the server which you are going to secure. Right click on the website that you want to secure and select Properties.

Open Directory Security. Click on Key Manager under Secure Communications, then click Create New Key. Select "Put the request in a file" and choose a filename for the CSR.

Entering the CSR data Entering the CSR data
As you complete the sections about your company, please keep the following 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://.

Click Next until Finish is displayed, then click Finish. If it asks you to save changes, be sure to say yes.

Open your CSR file with notepad and copy the entire text to the clipboard. Be sure to include the dashed lines at the top and bottom of the CSR. You can paste the text into the Trustwave Control Center to proceed with your order.
