Certificate name
:
creates an SSL certificate in the
specified certificate repository (administrator's or domain's
repository) by using a private key file and a corresponding
certificate file.
Common Name
: the common name is the fully qualified
domain name or FQDN used for DNS lookups of your
server (for example, www.mydomain.com). Browsers use
this information to identify your Web site. Some browsers
refuse to establish a secure connection with your site if the
server name does not match the common name in the
certificate. Please do not include the protocol specifier
‘http://’ or any port numbers or pathnames in the common
name. Do not use wildcard characters, such as * or ?, and
do not use an IP address.
Organization Name:
the name of the organization to
which the entity belongs (such as the name of a
company).
State/Province Name:
this is the name of the state or
province where your organization's head office is located.
Please enter the full name of the state or province.
Country/Region Name:
this is the two-letter ISO
abbreviation for your country (for example, GB for the
United Kingdom).
