CSR Generation Instructions- Zeus Server

To generate a CSR, you will need to create a key pair for your server. These two items are a digital certificate key pair and cannot be separated. If you lose your public/private key file or your password and generate a new one, your SSL Certificate will no longer match. You will have to request a new SSL Certificate and may be charged.

VeriSign recommends that you contact the Zeus vendor for additional information. 

Step 1: Generate a Certificate Signing Request

1. Open the Zeus Web Controller. For example: http://server:9090
2. Click SSL Certificates > Certificates > Create
3. Choose the option: Buy a certificate from another certifying authority.
4. Fill out all fields for the Certificate Signing Request.
5. Click OK.
6. Copy and paste the CSR file to a safe location and go to the Enrolment.
7. Go to Enrolment.

Terms Defined

Common Name

The Common Name is the Host + Domain Name. It looks like "www.company.co.uk" or "company.co.uk".

VeriSign certificates can only be used on Web servers using the Common Name specified during enrolment. For example, a certificate for the domain "domain.co.uk" will receive a warning if accessing a site named "www.domain.co.uk" or "secure.domain.co.uk", because "www.domain.co.uk" and "secure.domain.co.uk" are different from "domain.co.uk".

Organisation Information

• If your company or department has an &, @, or any other symbol using the shift key in its name, you must spell out the symbol or omit it to enrol.
• The “Org Unit” field is the name of the department or organisation unit making the request.
• The Locality field is the city or town name, for example: Guildford.
• Do not abbreviate the county name, for example: Surrey.
• Use the two-letter code without punctuation for country, for example: GB.

Contact Information

During the verification process, VeriSign may need to contact your organisation. Be sure to provide an email address, phone number, and fax number that will be checked and responded to quickly. These fields are not part of the certificate.
