This page contains information used to generate the private key needed before a certificate can be
requested from the CA.
Using the Web Page(s)
New Key Size:
The size of the private key in bits. If this parameter is set to Off, the private key will not be
gener ated. The key size can be anything between 384 bits and 2048 bits. The larger the key, the
more secure the connection, but also the larger the key, the slower the connection.
Private key filename:
Enter a name for the private key (the filename must be prefixed with “priv” and have a “.pem”
extension).
Save in SSHv1 format:
If this box is checked the private key will be generated in SSH version 1 format. If this box is
cleared the private key will be generated in SSH version 2 format.
Note:
IPSec requires SSH version 2 private keys.
Certificate request filename:
Enter a name for the certificate request (the filename must have a “.pem” extension)
The two buttons at the bottom of the page are used to generate the private key and the certifi-
cate request.
