CSR Generator ​

The CSR Generator can be used to create Certificate Signing Requests, which are required for issuing certificates. A CSR can be created with the RSA or ECC algorithms.

Various information can be stored in the CSR:

• Common Name (CN) = General name on which the certificate is to be issued. Typically a domain name can be found here. The name is limited to 64 characters.
• Organization (O) = The organization on whose name the certificate should be issued.
• Department (OU) = The department of the organization.
• City (L) = The city in which the organization is located.
• State (S) = The state in which the organization is located.
• Country (C) = The country in which the organization is located.

Private key ​

The generator supports the use of a private key. If none is available, a new one will be generated automatically.

Signing Algorithm ​

This can be used to define which algorithm is used to sign the CSR.

Subject Alternative Names ​

In addition to the general name, other names can be defined in a CSR for which the certificate is to be issued.

Algorithm ​

You can choose between RSA and ECC. With RSA, lengths of up to 8192 are supported. The longer the key the longer the generation can take. If ECC is chosen, the most common curves prime 256v1 and secp384r1 can be selected.

The generated CSR and private key can then be exported or stored within the CSR Manager.
