security appliance that needs to be sent to the Certificate Authority (CA)
for signing. CSR contains all information required to create your digital

use a local certificate, you must first request a certificate from the CA and

authorities, such as GoDaddy or VeriSign. The CA certificate is used to
verify the validity of certificates generated and signed by the CA.
