select "Prepare the request now, but send it later", click
Next.
- Next you are presented with the "Name and Security Settings"
dialogue box (below). Give your new certificate a name and also select the level of
security you would like to use (it is not recommended that you go over 1024 as this will
have an adverse effect on your server performance), click Next.
- In the "Organisation Information" dialogue box (below), enter
the name of your organisation. This should be as you want it to appear on any legal
documents as this is the name that will appear in your certificate. The organisational
unit can be a location, department or business unit within your company.
- In the "Common Name" dialogue box (below), you must enter the
FQDN of our web server.
- You are now presented with the "Geographical Information" dialogue box
(below). It is important to make sure you enter the State in full, for example "New
York" not just "NY". Abbreviating State names will be rejected at the end
of the Certificate Wizard.
- . The last step is to specify the location of the Certificate Request File, remember
where and what you called this as you will need it later.
- The "Request File Summary" will now appear (below). Make sure
everything is OK and then click Next to process the request.
You have now created a "Certificate Signing Request" which
will be needed when you apply for your certificate.
