Generate Certificate Signing Request page field descriptions

Use this page to generate a Certificate Signing Request for the EP Signing Certificate which can be sent to an external CA to request a signed certificate.

By default, the certificate signing request has the following characteristics:

2048-bits length public key and private key
SHA256 Signature Algorithm
X509 V3 extension:
- Basic Constraints: CA:True
- Extended Key Usages: serverAuth, clientAuth
- Key Usage: DigitalSignature, key_CertSign
- Subject Alternative Name: DNSName, IPAddresses

Note:

Before generating a new certificate signing request, it is highly recommended to check with the third-party CA on what guideline to follow when generating a certificate signing request. For example, some external CAs may not allow special characters or punctuation characters when creating the certificate signing request.
The certificate signing request and the associated private key will be saved in the database. If the user decides to generate the certificate signing request again, the previously generated certificate signing request and private key will be replaced with the new one.
