This document provides instructions on how to generate certificate signing request (CSR) for Apple Mac Server 5.0 for OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and above. If you can not perform these steps on the server, please contact Apple Support.

NOTE: 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.
 

1. On your Mac server, launch Server application.
2. Click Certificates on the left Menu, and then click +, then select Get a Trust Certificate
   
   
   
    
3. Click Next.
