Manage certificate requests in a certificate database

To manage certificate requests in a certificate database with the local management interface, use the SSL Certificates management page. In particular, we can create, view, export, or delete certificate requests, and list all certificate request names.

Select...

System > Secure Settings > SSL Certificates Certificate database > Manage > Edit SSL Certificate Database > Certificate Requests tab

Create a certificate request

2. Enter Certificate Request Label, Certificate Request Distinguished Name, and Key Size. A distinguished name must be in the following format:

   S= and ST= might be used for specifying state. However, the certificate or the certificate request always uses ST=.

   Any error in the distinguished name results in Error box with CTGSK3024W Invalid value for parameter &quot;-dn&quot; (<entered dn-value>) on save
