Help for Public Certificate Request


Description of the information displayed

The Public Certificate Request page displays a request for a publicly-signed certificate (created from the information provided on the Create Public Certificate Request page). You need to send the provided request (exactly as shown on the page) to a Certificate Authority in order to obtain the certificate, which you can then add to an SSL database using the Add a Signed Certificate to the Database function.

The displayed request is encrypted and encoded (PKCS12 format). You must send the request exactly as shown. The recommended method is to use cut-and-paste to copy the output into the request (for example, an e-mail) being sent to the Certificate Authority.
