• To generate a CSR, you will need to create a key pair for your server.
• These two items are a digital certificate key pair and cannot be separated.
• If you lose your public/private key file or your password and generate a new one, your SSL Certificate will no longer match.
• You will have to request a new SSL Certificate and may be charged.

The CSR needs to contain the following attributes:

• Country Name (C): Use the two-letter code without punctuation for country
• State or Province (S): Spell out the state completely; do not abbreviate the state or province name
• Locality or City (L): The Locality field is the city or town name
• Organization (O): Your company or department
• Organizational Unit (OU): This field is the name of the department or organization unit making the request.
• Common Name (CN): The Common Name is the Host Name or Domain Name. Example 'www.domain.com' or 'domain.com'.

Note: Sectigo certificates can only be used on Web servers using the Common Name specified during enrollment.
For example, a certificate for the domain 'domain.com' will receive a warning if accessing a site named 'www.domain.com' or 'secure.domain.com', because 'www.domain.com' and 'secure.domain.com' are different from 'domain.com'.
Sectigo recommends that you contact Nortel for additional information.
