Enter information for the following fields:
• Certificate Name: Enter a name for the new certificate. The system will create an SSL certificate in the
specified certificate repository (administrator's or domain's repository) by using a private key file and a cor-
responding certificate file.
• Common Name: Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) used for DNS lookups of your server
(for example, www.mydomain.com). Browsers use this information to identify your Web site. Some brows-
ers will refuse to establish a secure connection with your site if the server name does not match the common
name in the certificate. Do not include "http://" or any port numbers or pathnames in the common name.
Do not use wildcard characters such as * or ?, and do not use an IP address.
• Organization Name: Enter the name of the organization to which the entity belongs (such as the name of a
company).
