j. Key length - The length of the generated key in bits. 1024 is the
default.
k. Select the Create a Self-Signed Certificate checkbox (if
applicable).
3. Click Create to generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
To download a CSR certificate:
1. The CSR and the file containing the private key used when
generating it can be downloaded by click the Download button.
Note: The CSR and the private key file are a matched set and should
be treated accordingly. If the signed certificate is not matched with
the private key used to generate the original CSR, the certificate will
not be useful. This applies to uploading and downloading the CSR
and private key files.
2. Send the saved CSR to a CA for certification. You will get the new
certificate from the CA.
To upload a CSR:
1. Upload the certificate to the KSX II by clicking the Upload button.
Note: The CSR and the private key file are a matched set and should
be treated accordingly. If the signed certificate is not matched with
the private key used to generate the original CSR, the certificate will
not be useful. This applies to uploading and downloading the CSR
and private key files.
After completing these three steps the KSX II has its own certificate that
is used for identifying the card to its clients.
Important: If you destroy the CSR on the KSX II there is no way to
get it back! In case you deleted it by mistake, you have to repeat the
three steps as described above. To avoid this, use the download
function so you will have a copy of the CSR and its private key.
