Creating a Request for an SSL Certificate
section on
page 58 to create a session-specific Master certificate.

Click the

link to display the certificate text file in the Export SSL
Certificate window (FIG. 39).

You must copy all of the text within this field, including the
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE
REQUEST-----

5.
Copy (
Ctrl

6.
Paste (
Ctrl

V
) this text into the
Submit Request
field on the CA’s Retrieve Certificate web page.

Reference Number

request).
8.
Submit the request.

Paste the copied text into your e-mail document and send it to the CA with its accompanying
certificate application.
Once you have received the returned CA certificate, follow the procedures outlined in the following
section to import the returned certificate (
over a secure connection
) to the target Master.
Only use the
Regenerate Certificate
option when you have self-generated your own
certificate. Do not
regenerate an external CA-generated certificate.

When a certificate request is generated, you are creating a private key on the Master.
You can not request another certificate until the previous request has been fulfilled.
Doing so voids any information received from the previously requested certificate and
it becomes nonfunctional if you try to use it.
