PKCS10 Request

Create PKCS10 Request

Use this utility to create a PKCS10 request. This will create a key pair on the server side. You must provide the requester’s name and choose the cryptographic algorithm for which you want a new key pair. Once the keys are created you will be able to download the private key and the certification request. You may use it to request a certificate.

You can read more about PKCS10 here [RFC2986].

There are two options to specify the requester’s name in the PKCS10:

  • You may provide the data directly into the form.

  • If you already have an existing end-entity and want to re-use the data you may select it from the list of the available ones.

Once you have specified the name you must choose the cryptographic algorithm and corresponding parameters of the new key pair. A list of available algorithms can be found in here.
