Hi

I have purchased a SSL Certificate to use on my store and I have been asked by the SSL Issue Company the following and not sure were to start to activate my certificate.

Thank you in advance

The following message below displayed, when I clicked on activate my SSL Certificate in the issuing store?


Important: Please use CSR code with 2048-bit private key to activate your SSL certificate. According to modern security standards using CSR codes with private key size less than 2048 bits is not allowed.

What is a CSR?
The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a small, encrypted text file containing information about your organization and the domain you wish to secure. A CSR is what you give to a Certification Authority, to generate your SSL certificate. It is an essential part of obtaining an SSL certificate.

Where can I find instructions on how to generate a CSR?

Thanks Guys.
