How to generate a CSR for your domain

Introduction

This article covers generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that will cover a domain for use with a 3rd-party SSL in both cPanel and WHM.

Procedure

1. Log into your cPanel or WHM and navigate to the following location:

• cPanel: Access the "SSL/TLS" tool, and use the "Generate, view, or delete SSL certificate signing requests." option in the sidebar.
• WHM: "Home / SSL/TLS / Generate an SSL Certificate and Signing Request"

2. In the "Domains" section, add your domain(s) to be included on the SSL.  Each domain should be on a new line.

3. Fill out all other required fields appropriately, and click the Generate/Create button.  The CSR will be displayed on the next page.
