Preparing the NetScreen Preparing the NetScreen
Before creating the CSR and private key on Juniper NetScreen machines, you must first synchronize the clock. To do this, connect to the Netscreen's web interface. Select "Options", then "Configuration", and then "Date/Time".

Clock the "Sync Clock with Client" button. Set the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" option and click "Yes". Back in the "Options" menu, click "Network" and then "DNS". For "Host Name", enter the device's host name. For the "Domain Name" field, type the fully qualified domain name, such as www.securetrust.com or xramp.com, not the internal name. Click "Apply".

Entering the CSR Data Entering the CSR Data
Go back to the "Options" menu, click "Objects" and then click "Certificates". Click "New" and complete the fields about your company. While you complete these fields, we ask that you 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://. When ordering a Wildcard SSL Certificate use *.Trustwave.com.

When you are finished entering information, click "Generate" and save the CSR as a text file.

Submit the CSR to Trustwave Submit the CSR to Trustwave
Copy the entire CSR - including the dashed lines at the bottom and top - and paste the text into the Trustwave Control Center.
