Generate a CSR with WHM 11.54-56
Private key and CSR generation
- To generate a CSR with WHM, connect to your WHM home page, select
SSL/TLS - Generate an SSL Certificate and Signing Request. You will reach the CSR generation page
- In the private key options, select a key size of at least 2048bits. It is also the recommended key size. If you cannot select a sufficient size, you will need to go back to the SSL Manager, and manually generate a key from the link Generate, view, upload, or delete your private keys.
- Then, fill in your CSR information:
- Domains: Enter your main domain. For multiple domains, our website's form will define your future certificate. However, we recommend entering the full domain list here for management purposes.
- City: Enter your organization headquarters' city.
- State: Enter your state/province/département.
- Country: Enter your ISO 3166 two letter country code, i.e. FR for france, GB for the United Kingdom. It is preferable to use uppercase characters.
- Company Name : Enter here your organization legal name (not its commercial name or acronym), preferably in uppercase.
- Company Division: If not needed, we recommend leaving this field empty, or enter a generic value such as "IT Services".
- Email: This field will not be used.
- Leave the passphrase field empty. This field will not be used and is not supported. We recommend using the email transport feature only if you can assure its security.
- Once the information entered and checked, you can click on Create.
- A summary screen will display your CSR and its essential information.
