Generating a CSR file

[S Marcham]

Hi, I need to generate a csr file to give to our ssl provider, frog don't generate these and have given me this url as guidance: https://support.frogeducation.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/111/3/ssl-certificates . We have our own frog server but I still have no idea how to generate a csr file? Even after looking at the guidance, for me this is a whole new area and I have no idea what to do and I need to do this asap - if anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it! Many Thanks, Sarah

Hi Sarah,

 

You should be able to ask your SSL provider about how to generate it or you could navigate to Digicert, where they explain how to create a CSR in more detail. You can find the information here -  https://www.digicert.com/csr-creation.htm

 

There is also a link to a Free download, where you can install the certificate utility for windows, which will generate a CSR for you - https://www.digicert.com/util/. Further down on this install page, there are links to some useful articles that should be able to help you through this process. There is an article that walks you through creating a CSR using their Certificate Utility, if that's the route you want to go down.   

 

I hope this helps.
