SSL Certificate CSR Creation for HSphere Webserver

If you already have your SSL Certificate and just need to install it, see
H-Sphere SSL Certificate Installation.

How to generate a CSR in HSphere Web Server

1. From the control panel home page, click on SSL, then enable SSL for the domain you are securing.

2. Go to the next page, 'SSL Certificate Signing Request Parameters'. Fill in the blanks that exist, if any, and click Submit.
   

   
   

3. This will generate three files: A Certificate Signing Request (CSR), a Private Key, and a Temporary SSL Certificate. You must save the Private Key and CSR and store them as text files in a safe place. They are necessary later for the installation of your SSL Certificates.

   

4. Copy and paste the CSR (including the BEGIN and END tags) into the DigiCert web order form.

5. After you receive your SSL Certificate from DigiCert, you can install it.
