13Store the CSR text file in a safe location.

You require the CSR text file to request a signed TLS certificate from the CA.

Signed TLS certificate

You must obtain a signed TLS certificate from the CA and install it in your keystore. To obtain the signed TLS certificate from the CA, follow the steps in Procedure 6 “Obtaining a signed TLS certificate” (page 37). Before you begin, ensure that you have access to the CSR file that you saved in Procedure 5 “Generating a CSR” (page 35) Step 12.

Procedure 6

Obtaining a signed TLS certificate

Step Action

1Using the certificate management tool provided by your CA, access the prompt or Web page where you request certificates.

2If you receive a prompt to specify the server type, select Apache.

3At the prompt or Web page, paste the entire CSR text, including

-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and

-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----.
