Step 1: Complete and submit a CSR

You must first generate a certificate signing request (CSR) file, which identifies your organization and the host system where the Web Services Proxy and SAN Manager are installed.

1. Select Certificate Management .
2. From the Management tab, select Complete CSR.
3. Enter the following information, and then click Next:
   • Organization – The full, legal name of your company or organization. Include suffixes, such as Inc. or Corp.
   • Organizational unit (optional) – The division of your organization that is handling the certificate.
   • City/Locality – The city where your host system or business is located.
   • State/Region (optional) – The state or region where your host system or business is located.
   • Country ISO code – Your country's two-digit ISO (International Organization for Standardization) code, such as US.
4. Enter the following information about the host system where the Web Services Proxy is installed:
   • Common name – The IP address or DNS name of the host system where the Web Services Proxy is installed. Make sure this address is correct; it must match exactly what you enter to access SAN Manager in the browser. Do not include http:// or https://. The DNS name cannot begin with a wildcard.
   • Alternate IP addresses – If the common name is an IP address, you can optionally enter any additional IP addresses or aliases for the host system. For multiple entries, use a comma-delimited format.
   • Alternate DNS names – If the common name is a DNS name, enter any additional DNS names for the host system. For multiple entries, use a comma-delimited format. If there are no alternate DNS names, but you entered a DNS name in the first field, copy that name here. The DNS name cannot begin with a wildcard.
5. Make sure that the host information is correct. If it is not, the certificates returned from the CA will fail when you try to import them.
6. Click Finish.
