BEA Weblogic - Generate CSR

A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required when applying for an SSL certificate. This CSR (and private key) can be generated on your webserver. To request a wildcard certificate, fill in an * (asterisk) for the subdomain, for example *.sslcertificaten.nl (instead of www.sslcertificates.nl).

1. Start the Certificate Request Generator by navigating to https://hostname:port/certificate. Please Note: replace hostname with the IP address of the server, and port with the SSL port of the server.
2. In the CSR screen, the required organization details must be entered. You can also enter a password for the Private Key here, which is strongly advised. If this option is chosen, a conform PKCS-8 secured Private Key will be generated.
3. The Certificate Request Generator will generate the following files (www.sslcertificaten.nl is used as an example):
   • www.sslcertificaten.nl-key.der - the Private Key
   • www.sslcertificaten.nl-request.dem - the CSR in binary format
   • www.sslcertificaten.nl-request.pem - the CSR in ASCII format, to be used for the request
   These will be placed in the standard folder when the server is started. Secure these files so that they are only accessible by the root.

The existing file www.sslcertificaten.nl-request.pem can be used for the request.

To order a certificate, copy the entire contents of the generated CSR, including the first and last line and all dashes.
