Creating a new key pair Creating a new key pair
Open the Website Server Properties window, click the Key Ring tab, and then click New Key Pair. It will ask for your company data for the CSR in order to continue. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you enter the data:

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://.

If it asks for a Certification Authority, do not specify one. Click "Done" when the wizard is finished.

Submit the CSR to Trustwave Submit the CSR to Trustwave
The CSR should already be on your clipboard since the wizard copied this for you. If you've lost your clipboard contents, open the CSR file that the wizard saved. You can open this file in a text editor, like notepad, and copy the entire CSR. Be sure to include the dashed lines at the top and bottom when you copy the CSR to the clipboard. You can paste the CSR directly into the Trustwave Control Center to move on to the next step.

» After you submit your CSR, check your validation status
