Generating an SSL certificate request

To generate a certificate request:

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page, click Generate SSL Certificate (Web Server/Databases section). The Generate SSL Certificate form opens.

2. In the 2-Letter Country Code field, enter the international abbreviation for the country in which your business resides.

3. In the State/Province field, enter the complete name of the state or province in which your business resides. Do not abbreviate; spell out the entire name.

4. In the City field, enter the complete name of the city in which your business resides.

5. In the Company field, enter the name of your business.

6. In the Organization field, enter the type of industry in which your company does business.

7. In the Common Name field, enter the site name (without the www prefix).

8. In the Email field, enter the email address of the person who will receive the SSL certificate.

9. Click Generate Certificate.

The SSL window displays a new certificate request in an encrypted form.

You are now ready to go to step 2, sending the certificate request to a Certificate Authority.
