Create a Certificate Signing Request in the DMA System
The procedure below creates a certificate signing request (CSR) that you can
submit to your chosen certificate authority. This method uses the private key
generated at software installation time.
To create a certificate signing request
1 Go to Admin > Local Cluster > Certificates.
By default, the system is configured to use a self-signed certificate.
2 To see details of the public certificate currently being used to identify the
system to other computers:
a In the list, select the Server SSL certificate.
b In the Actions list, select Display Details.
The Certificate Details dialog box appears. If this is the default
self-signed certificate, Organizational Unit is Self Signed Certificate.
c To close the dialog box, click OK.
3 In the Actions list, select Create Certificate Signing Request.
If you’ve created a signing request before, you’re asked if you want to use
your existing certificate request or generate a new one. Elect to generate a
new one.
