Start the SMC and click "Security" from the toolbar. Click "Certificates", then "RSA", then
"Generate Request". The server will ask for the company information for the CSR.
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 you have finished entering the information for the CSR, click "Next". On the next screen,
choose 1024 bits for the key size and click "Next". The screen will show the paths for the
CSR and private key. You can edit these paths if you like - just remember what they are
so you can locate your CSR and key. Click "Next" and click "Copy CSR to Clipboard".
