After purchasing an SSL certificate, the first thing to do to associate it with the domain and obtain it is to generate the CSR file and its private key (KEY).
In the Swizzonic Customer Area there is a tool for creating the CSR file, so follow these steps:
Save this file in a safe place. You must keep it for the duration of the SSL Certificate.
If the private key is lost or deleted, it will be necessary to reissue the SSL Certificate in order to install it.
The two files have these characteristics:
This is the file to start the request for issuing the SSL Certificate to the Certification Authority.
The CSR file is enclosed in two lines like these:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
This is the private key required to install the SSL Certificate once it has been issued.
The KEY file is enclosed in two lines like these:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
You will receive instructions by e-mail from the Authority, which will carry out the appropriate checks to issue the certificate.
IMPORTANT
Issuance times may vary depending on the type of certificate requested and the accuracy of the data entered. We recommend that you always enter up-to-date and accurate data relating to the owner company, especially if the SSL Certificate is of the OV and EV type.
