Obtaining a CSR for the Built-In Keys
Figure 7 shows the process to generate a CSR for one of the built-in keys. Fill in the form and
click on
Generate CSR. A link will be provided to download the CSR, which then can be
signed by an external CA, generating a certificate. The certificate will be uploaded to the device
as described in the previous section.
Most fields in Figure 7 are informational and will become part of the CSR, but have no further
use. The two relevant fields in this form are:

Key Type: the CSR will be for either the RSA or the ECDSA key. Select which key
here. If you need to generate CSRs for both keys, use this form twice.

Common Name: this is what identifies the device. If later you need to block this device,
the blocking will be done based on the Common Name field. It is recommended that you
use unique names per device if you are generating CSRs.
No password is necessary to generate a CSR since they do not need to be kept confidential.
