name that is assigned to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. This

5. After completing the information, click Generate CSR. The new encryption
keys and certificate are generated. This process might take several minutes. A
page similar to the one in the following illustration is displayed when the
process is completed.
6. Click Download CSR and then click Save to save the file to your workstation.
The file that is produced when you create a certificate-signing request is in
DER format. If your certificate authority expects the data in some other format,
such as PEM, the file can be converted using a tool such as OpenSSL
(http://www.openssl.org). If the certificate authority asks you to copy the
contents of the certificate-signing request file into a Web browser window, PEM
format is usually expected.
The command for converting a certificate-signing request from DER to PEM
format using OpenSSL is similar to the following example:
openssl req -in csr.der -inform DER -out csr.pem -outform PEM
7. Send the certificate-signing request to your certificate authority. When the
certificate authority returns your signed certificate, you might have to convert
the certificate to DER format. (If you received the certificate as text in an
e-mail or a Web page, it is probably in PEM format.) You can change the
format using a tool that is provided by your certificate authority or using a tool
such as OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org). The command for converting a
certificate from PEM to DER format is similar to the following example:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -inform PEM -out cert.der -outform DER
Go to step 8 after the signed certificate is returned from the certificate
authority.
8. In the navigation pane, click Security. Scroll to the SSL Server Certificate
Management area, which looks similar to the page in the following illustration.
9. Click Import a Signed Certificate. A page similar to the one in the following
illustration is displayed.
