Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager

Creating a certificate signing request

Last Updated : Sep 15, 2014 |

Before you begin

Install the OpenSSL command line tool.

About this task

Perform this procedure if you want to generate the certificate with the key that you generate and get System Manager to sign your keys.

Do not perform the procedure if you want System Manager to generate the public and private keys for the certificate.

Procedure

Start an SSH session on System Manager.
To generate the keys and a corresponding certificate signing request (CSR), type the following command:
```
openssl req -out <CSR name> -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout <PvtKey_Filename>
```
Where:
- CSR name is the name of the output CSR file. For example, mycsr.csr.
- rsa:2048 instructs the system to create a 2048-bit RSA key.
- PvtKey_Filename is the filename where the system stores the private key. For example, privateKey.key.
