To generate a CSR, you will need to create a key pair for your server. The CSR and Key Pair files can't be separated. If you lose your public/private key file or your password and generate a new one, your SSL Certificate will no longer match.
Create your private key
Via Telnet, copy and paste these command lines. This example creates a 2048 bits private key, DES encrypted using a passphrase and write the key to a FTP server.
sslone# config
(config[sslone])# ssl
(config-ssl[sslone])# key new_key create
config-ssl-key[new_key])# genrsa bits 2048 encrypt des output ftp://10.1.1.101/new_key
Create your CSR
Issue the command gencsr key:
(config-ssl[sslone])# gencsr key new_key
Enter the requested details by following these instructions:
