Certificate Request Required Information
However, it is possible to generate and install a new certificate that is unique
for a particular card. In order to do that, the RIPC is able to generate a
new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing Request that
needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA). A certification
authority verifies that you are who you claim you are and signs and issues
a SSL certificate to you.
The following steps are necessary to create and install the RIPC’s
SSL certificate:
1. Create a SSL Certificate Signing Request using the panel shown in the
Figure below (Security Settings SSL Settings Create your own SSL
certificate). Fill out a number of fields that are explained in the table
above. Once this is done, click “Create CSR” which will initiate the
Certificate Signing Request generation. The CSR can be downloaded to
your administration machine with the “Download CSR” button
(see Figure below).
2. Send the saved CSR to a CA for certification. You will get the new
certificate from the CA after a traditional authentication process.
3. Upload the certificate to the RIPC using the Upload panel as shown in the
Figure below.
