Certificate Request

This screen allows you to view your pending Certificate Request or to generate a new one. The Certificate Request generated here could be used:

- To generate a self-signed certificate
- To get a certificate, signed by external trusted certification authority, such as Thawte or Verisign.

If you are running a production eCommerce or other secure site, you should use a certificate signed by a trusted authority. Popular Internet browsers recognize them automatically and will not generate warning messages. To receive such certificate, please copy the Certificate Request field, which looks like:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
    nJ1MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCB
    :
    :
    E6UiQqilaJ1yfnFKiX52wIDAQABoAAwDQYJ
    -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

and send it to the trusted authority (you could use one from the list below). You will receive signed certificate which you can import into the system in "Certificate" section.

- Thawte
- Verisign
- Equifax

To generate a self-signed certificate, please proceed directly to the "Certificate" section and follow on-screen instructions.
