How to generate a CSR in Novell ConsoleOne Web Server
Before you begin, ensure that the following are installed to your ConsoleOne workstation:
- ConsoleOne 1.3.6 or later
- Certificate Server snapin Version 2 (2.23 Build 34 or higher)
- Server NICI 2.6 or later.
- Run ConsoleOne.
- Inside the container of the server you are securing, create a new object. For the type of new object select 'NDSPKI:Key Material'.
- You will be asked to select the server that the certificate will be applied to.
- Select "Custom" for the creation type, then click next. When you are asked for the Certification Authority select "External Certificate Authority".
- When asked for the RSA Key size, accept the default size of 2048 bits and allow the private key to be exported. Hit "Next".
-
Next, you will be allowed to edit the Certificate Parameters. You must change the "subject name" to reflect your organization and domain name details.
Example of a "subject name": ".CN=www.YourDomain.com.OU=Accounting.O=Your CompanyInc.L=YourCity.S=YourState.C=TR"
Be careful to follow the General CSR Creation Guidelines as you enter these details.
- Select to use the SHA1 algorithm.
- Click "Next", then "Finish". This will generate your CSR.
- Save the CSR in Base64 format to the system clipboard.
- Paste the entire CSR (including the BEGIN and END tags) into the E-Tugra order form, then select 'Novell Web Server' as your server platform.
- Remember the name that you choose for the certificate object. You will install the certificate file to the same object later.
