Log onto your SonicWall SSL Offloader and create a directory called C:\test.
Type the following command to begin creating a private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out c:\test\key.pem 1024
Choose a passphrase of at least 6 characters to protect your key. Remember this password - you will
not be able to complete the installation without it.
Type the following command to begin creating a CSR:
openssl -new -key c:\test\key.pem -out c:\test\req.pem -config openssl_config.txt
While you complete the CSR 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://.
