CSR Generation For SSL Certificates by databoy247(m): 4:42pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
I paid for an SSL certificate but need to generate a CSR code with 2048-bit private key to activate the SSL certificate. Any ideas on how to go about it or do i ask my host to do it for me, not withstanding, i would like to do it myself. Thanks |

You need ssh access to generate a csr first you need a key, next use the key to generate the csr. you can actually do both with just 1 command. openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout www.yourwebsite.com.key -out www.yourwebsite.com.csr if you are running CentOS, you may want to use the one above cos somehow, all my centos machine always have "key does not match crt" when password is set. the above will not place a password on your .key file. if it's a shared server, you may want to set a password, use below command instead. openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.yourwebsite.com.key 2048 the based on that you generate the csr like this openssl req -new -key www.yourwebsite.com.key -out www.yourwebsite.com.csr you should have 2 files at the current directory, so give the content of the .csr to the ssl company, they give you 2 files back. .crt & .ca-bundle, most of them will provide you with a link on how to install it but when giving them, let them know what webserver you want to use it with. Apache + modssl in most case, NOT ApacheSSL goodluck |

If your server is running on WHM, go to the SSL section amongt the links on the left of your panel and generate a request. Note that you will need to have a dedicated IP assigned to the domain you are creating this kind of SSL cert for. |
