Creating Certificate Signing Requests for (Web Server) Certificates
In order to enable Browser Access for an application, you must upload its web server certificate. The certificate can be signed by a public certificate authority (CA) or be a self-signed certificate whose trust is established by your organization's PKI.
To create a CSR for a (web server) certificate:
- Go to Policies > Access Control > Clientless > Certificates.
- Click Create CSR.
The Create CSR window appears.
- In the Create CSR window:
- Name: Enter a name for the CSR. The name cannot contain special characters, with the exception of periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores ( _ ).
- Description: (Optional) Enter a description.
- Subject: Enter the subject distinguished name (DN) for the certificate, in the following format and order:
CN=<Common Name>,O=<Organization>,ST=<State>,C=<Country>,L=<Location>,OU=<Organizational Unit>
The CN=<Common Name> attribute must be listed first in the sequence, and all other attributes are optional. For example:
CN=*.mockcompany.com,O=MockCompany,ST=CA,C=US,L=SanJose,OU=ITDepartment
However, the common name does not need to be a wildcard domain.
- Subject Alternate Name: Enter the Subject Alternate Name (SAN) for the CSR. Specifying a SAN allows the certificate to cover multiple hostnames (domains only). Click + Add More to add multiple SANs.
- Click Create to generate content for the CSR.
- The Certificates page automatically updates to display your pending CSR in the table, where you must upload the web server certificate.
