Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using Novell ConsoleOne
Please note, as of January 2011, all CSR’s must be generated with a key length of 2048
You import a public key certificate after you have created a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and you’ve obtained the signed public key certificate to you.
To Create a CSR:-
Login to the eDirectory tree as an administrator with the appropriate rights.
-
Start “ConsoleOne.”
-
Right-click the container object that contains the server that will run your cryptography-enabled applications; then select “New Object.” Click the “Security” tab, then “Certificates.”
-
From the list box in the New Objects dialog box, double-click “NDSPKI:Key Material.”
-
This opens the Create a Server Certificate dialog box and the corresponding wizard that creates the Server Certificate object. For specific information on the dialog box or any of the wizard pages, click “Help.”
