How To Generate CSR on IIS 7 and 8

  • Here is a complete guide on how to Generate CSR and Private keys on your Windows IIS 7 or IIS 8 servers. We recommend that you write down your password and backup your key because, in case of loss, they cannot be restored, and we will not be able to help you. Any storage is recommended for saving your backup files.

      STEP 3

      This will open the Certificate Request Form Wizard. In the Distinguished Name Properties window, enter the following information:

      1. The Common Name field should contain the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) - the web address for which you plan to use the IIS SSL certificate. You must be sure that the Common name that you have verified with CSR is the correct domain name / FQDN for which you are going to use the certificate. For a Wildcard SSL certificate, the Common Name must contain at least one asterisk (*) For example: * .domain.tld, * .sub.domain.tld
      2. Enter the Organization (company name) and the Organization Unit;
      3. Enter the location of the company: country, city, region;
      4. Click Next.
