I’m trying to figure out how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). I’ve purchased a ssl certificate from godaddy and they are asking for a Certificate Signing Request to issue the certificate. I can’t find anything in the Galaxy documentation that tells me how to do this. Am I missing something. Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Hello, how are you?
To generate the CSR, you have two options. As we do not provide CLI access in apps and our servers are dynamic.
1 - You can generate your CSR by: https://www.ssldragon.com/csr-generator/
2 - If you have some Linux on cloud or localhost, you can run the following command to generate a CSR for you:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
You will be asked to fill in all required fields in these two modes above. Use the examples below as a reference:
Common Name – type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) you want to protect. For instance, mydomain.com
Note: If you’re generating a CSR for a wildcard certificate, add an asterisk in front of your domain name. For example, *.mydomain.com.
Country – enter the two-letter country code. If you’re registering an organization, make sure to provide the country of its legal origin. (e.g. US)
State or Province – specify the state or region where your company is legally located (e.g. Nevada)
City – name the city where your business is legally registered (e.g. Las Vegas)
Organization – submit the legal name your organization. For instance, HomeWork Holding LLC. For Domain Validation Certificates
Organizational Unit – specify the department in charge of SSL management. For example, IT. If you have a DV certificate
E-mail address – provide a valid email address
Once you’ve completed all the required information, you should have your CSR code (.csr file) and private key (.key file)
