How do I generate a CSR code?
Typically, a Certificate Signing Request (or CSR) code is generated upon your request by your hosting company, for the website you want to secure with an SSL certificate.
You may, however, generate a CSR code yourself (or your hosting company may advise you to do so). In which case, select your web server from the list below and follow the instructions.
cPanel
Apache OpenSSL/ModSSL/Nginx/Heroku
WHM 11.48
Tomcat (using keytool)
Plesk 12
IIS 7
IIS 8
IIS 10
DirectAdmin
Exchange 2007 (PowerShell)
AWS
Synology NAS
Vesta CP
Mac OS X
Sun Java System Web Server 7.x
Webmin
Node.js
Exchange 2013 (EAC)
Exchange 2013 (Shell)
Note: CSR codes should have no less than 2048-bit key size.
If you do not see your server type listed above, click on the name of the Certification Authority associated with your account for further instructions on CSR generation:
Comodo
RapidSSL
GeoTrust
Thawte
Symantec
If you are activating a multi-domain certificate and your server does not allow you to generate a CSR for multiple common names, activate your certificate using just one common name. You will be able to add all required SANs through your Emporis Software Solutions account during the activation process.

Please note: Normally, a dedicated IP address is required for SSL installation. However, you may install your SSL certificate on a shared IP address using the Server Name Indication (SNI) protocol extension that is available in your cPanel. You can learn more about the differences between dedicated IP and SNI technology in this article. When contacting our support team regarding this issue, please specify whether you wish to order a dedicated IP address or have your SSL installed on a server's shared IP.
