CSR Generation


You've decided to purchase a SSL certificate, but first you need SoHo IT Solutions to generated a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) for you. Here is the information we need.

Once you have used the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to purchase an SSL certificate then simply post an update to the support ticket where we generated the CSR for you with a copy of the certificate file and we will happily install it for you. In order to have a CSR generated please open a support ticket via our Help Centre at: Http://www.sohoitsolutions.net/helpdesk containing the following information -

5. Company Name:

9. Certificate Password (choose a random, secure password containing only numbers and letters, 8-16 characters long. (e.g. "97HqTmqvyCrD" meets the requirements, but "Star7171" does not):


One of the most important things: Server type you will need to purchase the certificate for is Apache + ModSSL.
