-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Syntax: ssl gencsr <key-name>

The <key-name> variable is the key name that you want to use for the certificate request.

Exporting Web Server Certificates

You can export a Web Server Certificate from a Web server and install it on a ServerIronADX. This
section describes the procedures required to export Web server certificates from a Windows
Internet Information server (IIS), or and Apache server (UNIX).

Windows IIS
To export an existing Web server certificate to install on a ServerIronADX, follow these steps:

1. In the Run dialog box, type mmc, and click OK. The Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

appears.

2. If you do not have Certificate Manager installed in MMC, you need to install it. For more

information on how to add the Certificate snap-in to an MMC console, see the Microsoft link:
Install a Server Certificate.

3. In the console tree, click the logical store where the certificate you want to export exists. It is

usually in the Certificates folder in the Personal directory under Certificates (local computer)
on the console root.

4. Right-click the certificate you want to export and click All Tasks > Export to start the Certificate

Export Wizard.

5. Click Next.

6. On Export Private Key, click Yes to export the private key.

You must export the private key with your certificate for it to be valid on your target server.
Otherwise, you must request a new certificate for the target server.

7. In the Export File Format dialog box, choose.PFX. If the certificate has already been formatted,

that format is selected as the default. Click Next.

Do not select Delete the private key if export is successful, because this disables the SSL site
that corresponds to the private key.
