Create your CSR

If you are looking for a CSR creation tutorial for older versions of Barracuda devices, please see our CSR Creation for Barracuda Devices Below Version 5 page.
To create your CSR, you must be an administrator logged into the Barracuda Device's web interface.

1. Go to the Advanced tab, and click Secure Administration.
   
   
   
   

2. For Certificate type, choose Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA). Next to the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), click on Edit Data.
   
   

3. Enter the information about your organization, then save the CSR, and set the private key size to at least 2048 bits.
   After entering all of the information for your CSR, click Save Changes.
   
   Common name: Enter your Barracuda device's hostname (can be configured on the IP Configuration page).
   
   Country Code: Enter your two-digit country code.
   
   State or Province: Enter this information for the organization to which the certificate will be issued.
   
   Locality (City): Enter the city/locality for the organization getting the certificate.
   
   Organization (Company) Name: This should be the legal name of the company (e.g., Your Company, Inc.).
   
   Organizational (Departmental) Unit: If you're not in a department, enter IT.
   
   Key Size: Choose at least 2048 bits (not 1024).

   
   

4. Now click Download to save your CSR file.

   

5. Change the certificate type to Private (Self-signed), click the Download link for the private key (private_key.txt). Save this file in a secure place, as it will be needed later when you go to install your SSL Certificate files.

   

6. After you receive your SSL Certificate files from DigiCert, you can install them.
