To generate a CSR, you will need to create a key pair for your server. These two items are a digital certificate key pair and cannot be separated. If you lose your public/private key file or your password and generate a new one, your SSL Certificate will no longer match. You will have to request a new SSL Certificate and may be charged.
GeoTrust recommends that you contact the Zeus vendor for additional information.
Step 1: Generate a Certificate Signing Request
- Open the Zeus Web Controller. For example: http://server:9090
- Click SSL Certificates > Certificates > Create
- Choose the option: Buy a certificate from another certifying authority.
- Fill out all fields for the Certificate Signing Request.
- Click OK.
- Copy and paste the CSR file to a safe location and go to the Enrollment.
- Go to Enrollment.
Terms Defined
Common Name
The Common Name is the Host + Domain Name. It looks like "www.company.com" or "company.com".
GeoTrust certificates can only be used on Web servers using the Common Name specified during enrollment. For example, a certificate for the domain "domain.com" will receive a warning if accessing a site named "www.domain.com" or "secure.domain.com", because "www.domain.com" and "secure.domain.com" are different from "domain.com".
Organization Information
- If your company or department has an &, @, or any other symbol using the shift key in its name, you must spell out the symbol or omit it to enroll.
- The "Org Unit" field is the name of the department or organization unit making the request.
- The Locality field is the city or town name, for example: Berkeley.
- Do not abbreviate the state or province name, for example: California.
- Use the two-letter code without punctuation for country, for example: US or CA.
