•
Locality: This is usually the name of the city where your
organization’s head office is located.
•
Organization: This should be the organization that owns the
domain name. The organization name (corporation, limited
partnership, university, or government agency) must be
registered with some authority at the national, state, or city level.
Use the legal name under which your organization is registered.
Please do not abbreviate your organization’s name and do not use
any of the following characters: < > ~ ! @ # $ % ^ * / \ ( ) ?.
•
Organizational unit: This is normally the name of the
department or group that will use the certificate.
•
Common name: The common name is the “fully qualified
domain name,” (or FQDN) used for DNS lookups of your server
(for example, www.mysite.com). Browsers use this information
to identify your Web site. Some browsers will refuse to establish
a secure connection with your site if the server name does not
match the common name in the certificate. Please do not include
the protocol specifier “http://” or any port numbers or path names
in the common name. Do not use wildcard characters such as * or
?, and do not use an IP address.
•
E-mail address: This should be the e-mail address of the
administrator responsible for the certificate.
3. Export the Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

To submit the CSR to a certifying authority, paste it into the field
provided in the authority’s online request form. Remember to include
the “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----” and “-----END
CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----” lines.
Typically, the CSR will look something like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
