Manual CSR Generation for Connectra
*Apache & OPENSSL*
*============================*
Run this command to create the private key:
*/ openssl genrsa -des3 -out domainname.key 1024 /*
Optional – this command keeps from having to issue passphrase every httpd restart:
*/ openssl genrsa -out domainname.key 1024 /*
This command create the certificate request in PEM format (Leave Password Blank).
*/ openssl req -new -key domainname.key -out domainname.csr -config
/opt/CPcvpn-R55B/conf/openssl.cnf/*
Open domainname.csr in Notepad and copy the entire contents.
Go to CA desired. We use wwwThawte.Com (as Verisign only fdishes out 30 day evals for 40 bit encryption) and past the contents into thawte’s site.
Copy the output offered afterwards.
Save the contents to a new file called domainname.cer.
Log into the Connectra Portal Admin Section and go to the Server Certificate section.
Upload the *.key and *.cer file.
All USERS will use this certificate (Does not affect Administrator Portal)
