CSR instructions 

• Connect to the server
• At the prompt, type:

openssl req -new -nodes -keyout your_domain_name.key -out your_domain_name.csr 

This will generate two files: the Private key file and the Certificate Signing Request (CSR file.

While creating the CSR you have to enter information about your organisation, like address etc. Be sure this information is entered correctly. 

Also you have to enter the Common Name (domain name). Enter the exact domain name for which you want to setup the SSL connection, like: secure.yourcompany.com or shop.yourcompany.com. 

The CSR and Key files are stored at the present location. You will need the Key file for the certificate installation.  

Now use a text editor like Notepad or VI (do not use Word) and open the CSR file. Copy and paste the entire content in the enrollment form at networking4all and submit it with your order for the SSL certificate.

The CSR file will look like this, when copying and pasting include everything also the dashed lines, from:
--- Begin --- 
to and including
--- END ---
