DirectAdmin: How to Generate a CSR code

A CSR or Certificate Signing Request code is a specific code generated by our web server. It plays a key role in SSL activation. The CSR code contains information like the website name and the company contact details. According to our experts, it is a good idea to create the code on the hosting server end.

Today, we going to take a look at how to generate a CSR code in DirectAdmin in a few easy steps:

1. To begin with, we have to log in to our DirectAdmin panel. In case we have logged in as Admin, we have to select User Level access in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Next, we must choose SSL Certificates under the Advanced Features section.
3. Then, we have to click “Create A Certificate Request” radio button and then enter the required details. These details will be included in the CSR code. The information includes details like:
   • Two-letter Country Code
   • State/Province
   • City>
   • Company
   • Company Division
   • Common Name
   • E-mail
   • Key Size
   • Certificate Type

   Then, click Save.
4. At this point, DirectAdmin will display the CSR code and the private key. We can use the CSR code to activate our SSL certificate.

We require the private key to install the issued certificate. Hence, our experts suggest taking a backup of the key in a separate file before we close the page.
