Parameters dialog box appears.
In the CSR Parameters dialog box, perform the following steps:
Step 1 From the Key Pair Size drop-down list, choose the size required for you certificate.
The key size that you select depends on the level of security that you want to configure and on any
limitations imposed by the CA from which you are obtaining the certificate. The larger the number that
you select, the higher the security level will be for the certificate. Most CAs recommend 2048 for the
key modulus size; however, GoDaddy requires a key modulus size of 2048.
Step 2 (Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy only) In the CN field, enter the domain name used by your
enterprise or network. The subject DN you configure for the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy
must match the domain name that set in the local Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

provides the common name (CN), which is the FQDN of the Cisco Mobility Advantage server
or Cisco Unified Presence server, respectively.
