Create a certificate signing request (CSR)

The certificate signing request (CSR) is the message sent from your site to a certificate authority in order to apply for a digital identity certificate. The CSR is the public key generated on your server that validates your web server/organization data when you request a certificate from your third-party certificate vendor. After creating a CSR, follow the process required by your certificate signing authority to obtain your signed certificate. Procedure Run the following command to create a CSR from your private key: Copy >keytool -certreq -keystore keystore -alias FSC_myhost -file FSC_myhost.csr Complete each question prompted by the command. For example: Copy >keytool -certreq -keystore keystore -alias FSC_myhost -file FSC_myhost.csr Enter keystore password: keystore.password Enter key password for FSC_myhost.password Locate the CSR file. This is the file you must submit to the certificate signing authority. For example: Copy -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIBtjCCAR8CAQAwdjELMAkGA1UEBhMCbXkxEDAOBgNVBAgTB215c3RhdGUxDzANBgNVBAcTBm15 Y2l0eTESMBAGA1UEChMJbXljb21wYW55MRIwEAYDVQQLEwlteWNvbXBhbnkxHDAaBgNVBAmTE215 aG9zdC5teWRvbWFpbi5jb20wgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAJ0h3iF8KBEN2UKw hw1dw+RlxGwcsptLA3EI+6rAKa32dg/4FY89zBcUG02413X0BxQWcsRznYWFDJHLK4En7I2xeJNs ORwJfBeF9yW6d4lzaWA6LATFr5T3DHafF6mSRNPl+739mpGuQr44AXBQWqZoOMhecc+n/ErekMlZ dgWTAgMBAAGgADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFAAOBgQCQJTqujL7GIXz0is0fUoAxtCydMiX1BeVHU+l/ IqcTh4BX8V3vJmm+kHwwKn3yeih+WJzYmDdNh/uaKxO7txyFdPPDd1bdIosFc4XIZwys0jFKwGqf MUjB9wgaKgHSRQTtCOPBEO/ClLjm8ocFNQBWysYVevAZQAmEMp90BxBt/Q== -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
