Generating a CSR with NETASQ

Use OpenSSL for generating a CSR for a NETASQ applicance (for Windows use Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8i Light ):

Start with:

openssl req -new -nodes -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr

Windows users:

c:/openssl/bin/openssl req -new -nodes -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr

Enter all the required information, be precise as this information will be stored with your Private Key.  
Bits = encryption level. We recommend a value equal or more than 1024 bit.
Country, State/Province, Location = official address of your company or organisation
Organisation = the name of your company or organisation
Organisation department = optional field for the name of the responsible department or division
Common Name = the domain name for which the SSL certificate will be used, like mail.yourdomain.com 

When finished open your CSR (server.csr) in a text editor, it will look like this:
