2. Now that \SYS is the active directory, click the Viewport File Transfer menu,

Since the private key is unique to each CSR, it’s a good idea to back up the
file to secure media.
Obtaining the Certificate
As described earlier, the exact procedure for obtaining a certificate differs depending
on the CA, but in all cases you have to submit the CSR along with all verifying
information that the CA requires. Here it may be necessary to open the CSR file in a
text editor such as Notepad and copy and paste the text between the “Begin new
certificate request” and “End new certificate request” delimiters before sending the
file to the CA.
The time it takes to receive the certificate will vary based on how quickly the CA
receives the required documentation.
Upload the CA-Signed Certificate
Once the CA validates the CSR, the CA issues the certificate. The certificate is usually
sent to the requester via e-mail, in the following format:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
