Below are links to instructions on how to create a CSR for common web servers on the market. Click on the SSL Certificate that best matches your server software for directions on how to generate a CSR.
Please note that all CSRs need to be created with a key length of 2048 and using SHA256 as the hash algorithm. If your server is incapable of doing so you’ll need to use OpenSSL.
Windows Servers use MMC to create the CSR request. Please look at our Windows CSR guide for those instructions.
