DCO 8.x how to generate SSL CSR?

[DCIM_Support]

i have customer that would like to use their own ssl cert, part of that process requires generating a certificate signing request.  DCE already has a wizard in place to do this.  Is there something similar in DCO?  or if possible, can someone provide the commands to use with openssl in the linux backend?

Hi Martin, Yes I've seen that page, however that still doesn't provide any info on how to generate a signing request. The whole reason we need the CSR is because their security scan software flagged the DCO server for using a self-signed certificate. DCE has a whole wizard for generating the CSR Modifying the SSL certificate and I've seen some documentation online on how to generate a CSR using the CLI and openssl. However I'm looking for some official supported documentation/procedure on how to use openssl to generate the CSR or some other method.

I'm sure it does and I know it's not that difficult. However given that the wrong ssl cert can break access to the server, if possible, I'm looking for a supported procedure from SE instead of trying to figure it out myself.

here's the response i got from tech support.  

log into the linux backend and run the command 

"sudo openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr"

then use winscp or the upload/download function of the webmin console to download the server.csr file.

after that you can generate your ssl cert and import it following SE standard ssl cert import process
