A RSA key must be either created or applied to the certificate request before the certificate can be
generated. A private key is not included in the CSR, but is used to digitally sign the completed
request. The certificate created with a particular CSR only worked with the private key generated
with it. If the private key is lost, the certificate is no longer functional.The CSR can be accompanied
by other identity credentials required by the certificate authority, and the certificate authority
maintains the right to contact the applicant for additional information.
If the request is successful, the CA sends an identity certificate digitally signed with the private key
of the CA.
To create a CSR:
1. Select Operations > Certificates.
2. Select a device from amongst those displayed in either the RF Domain or Network panes on
the left-hand side of the screen.
3. Select Create CSR.
