How Do I Select a CSR When Applying for a Certificate?

To obtain an SSL certificate, a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file needs to be submitted to the CA for review. A CSR contains a public key and a distinguished name (DN). Typically, a CSR is generated by a web server. A pair of public and private keys are created along with the CSR.

When you apply for a certificate, you can select System generated CSR or Upload a CSR for CSR.

• System generated CSR: The system automatically generates a certificate private key. Once the certificate is issued, you can download your certificate and private key on the certificate management page.
• Upload a CSR: Manually make a CSR file. For details, see How Do I Make a CSR File?

You are advised to select System generated CSR to avoid approval failure caused by incorrect content. For details about the differences between the two types of certificate, see What Are the Differences Between the CSR Generated by the System and the CSR Made by Yourself?
