Certificate Management [Create CSR] elements

The Certificate Management [Create CSR] page contains these elements:

Element Description
Country The two-letter ISO code for the country where your organization is located (for example, US).
State or Province The full name of the state or province where the entity being described resides.
Locality The locality name (for example, city) where the entity being described resides.
Common Name

This list contains up to two entries having different host name components:

  • PMAC host name
  • A wildcard (*)

The hostname-specific value results in a website certificate for use by this PMAC server only.

Use the wildcard option to create a certificate applicable to all servers in the same domain as PMAC.

Both of these options are based on the value of the Domain Name field on the Administration > GUI Site Settings page.

When in doubt, choose the host-specific option.

This list includes only those entities that do not already have an associated certificate.

An empty list indicates that both a host-specific certificate and a wildcard certificate already exist. To replace either certificate, you must first delete the existing one.

Organization The name of the organization to which the entity belongs.
Organizational Unit The organizational unit name to which the entity belongs.
Email Address The email address of the entity being described.
Generate CSR button Select to generate the new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) containing the entered information. The CSR is written to a new file accessible using Status and Manage > Files.

This button also creates and installs an associated self-signed certificate and private key and puts them into use by PMAC. This certificate change requires you to re-establish the session with PMAC and accept the new self-signed certificate.

To avoid these prompts, retrieve the CSR from PMAC and submit it to your Certificate Authority (CA). The CA returns a CA-signed certificate. Return to the Certificate Management page, select the self-signed certificate, and use the Update button to replace it with the CA-signed certificate.

Back button Select to return to the Certificate Management page without generating a new Certificate Signing Request. No change is made to any existing certificates or keys.
