What is a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)?

Last Update 3 jaar geleden
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) contains information about your domain/company that the Certificate Authority (CA) will use to create your SSL Certificate. You generate this from the server where you plan to install the Certificate. The process is different based on the web server software you use, but the end result is the same. You get an encoded file that contains the details of the CSR, with the public key. You also generate a private key. You send the CSR to the CA, with the matching details for your domain, and they generate the SSL Certificate for you.
