Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

Related Models:ADS‑1350W / ADS‑1800W
A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a request sent to a Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate the credentials contained within the certificate.

We recommend installing a Root Certificate from the CA on your computer before creating the CSR.

  1. Start your web browser.
  2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is your machine's IP address).
    For example:

    https://192.168.1.2

  3. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.

    The default password to manage this machine’s settings is located on the bottom of the machine and marked "Pwd". Change the default password by following the on-screen instructions when you first log in.
  4. In the left navigation bar, click Network>Security>Certificate.

    • Your company details are required so that a CA can confirm your identity and verify it to the outside world.
    • The length of the Common Name must be less than 64 bytes. Enter an identifier, such as an IP address, node name, or domain name to use when accessing this machine through SSL/TLS communication. The node name is displayed by default. The Common Name is required.
    • A warning will appear if you type a different name in the URL than the Common Name that was used for the certificate.
    • The length of the Organization, the Organization Unit, the City/Locality, and the State/Province must be less than 64 bytes.
    • The Country/Region should be a two-character ISO 3166 country code.
    • If you are configuring an X.509v3 certificate extension, select the Configure extended partition checkbox, and then select Auto (Register IPv4) or Manual.
  7. Select your setting from the Public Key Algorithm drop-down list. The default setting is RSA(2048bit).
  8. Select your setting from the Digest Algorithm drop-down list. The default setting is SHA256.
  9. Click Submit.
    The CSR appears on your screen. Save the CSR as a file or copy and paste it into an online CSR form offered by a Certificate Authority.
  10. Click Save.
