2. Enter the information of the organization requesting the certificate. As
shown in the previous diagram, the information includes the domain name
of the organization, the e-mail address and department of the contact person
making the request, the company name, city and state, and the two-letter
country code.
The domain name is not transferable, and thus must be the one that will
actually be used by clients. The domain name must be officially registered
to the company; otherwise the certificate request will be rejected.
3. Click OK. Viewport will generate the CSR and private key. The files will
be automatically saved in the \SYS directory of the control system. In
addition, Viewport will prompt you to save the CSR file to a directory on
your hard drive: Locate the target directory and click Save.
As described earlier, the CSR file is an ASCII text file that is saved in the
\SYS directory as: \\sys\request.csr. The private key is also saved in the
\SYS directory with a .der extension as: \\sys\srv_key.der. The procedure
for backing up the private key is described in the next section.
The .csr text file is in the following format:
-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----

-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
NOTE: When sending the CSR to a Certificate Authority it may be necessary to cut
and paste the text between the “Begin new certificate request” and “End new
certificate request” delimiters. To do this you can open the CSR file in a text editor
such as Notepad.
