11.2.4 Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Certificates
A
certificate signing request
(CSR) is a message from a requestor to a certificate authority to apply for a digital identity
certificate. The CSR is composed of a block of encrypted text generated on the server the certificate will be used on. It
contains information included in the certificate, including organization name, common name (domain name), locality and
country.
A RSA key must be either created or applied to the certificate request before the certificate can be generated. A private
key is not included in the CSR, but is used to digitally sign the completed request. The certificate created with a particular
CSR only worked with the private key generated with it. If the private key is lost, the certificate is no longer functional.
The CSR can be accompanied by other identity credentials required by the certificate authority, and the certificate
authority maintains the right to contact the applicant for additional information.
If the request is successful, the CA sends an identity certificate digitally signed with the private key of the CA.
