I’m trying to purchase a certificate, and the provider (rapidSSL) is asking me to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). However, I can’t find anything in the appengine documentation on how to create this?
Anybody have a clear solution they used? Or can Google weigh in on how we do this?
Each Certificate Authority provides details on how to generate a Certificate Signing Request in a form they prefer to use. You should follow the guides provided by the CA on how to get a certificate for use with Apache as this will generate the correct certificate and will also provide steps to generate a CSR.
Something to also be aware of it some CAs instructions generate keys in an encrypted form. If this happens you can decrypt the key using openssl by running this command: openssl rsa -in encrypted.key -out unencrypted.key
