- Hover the mouse over the panel on the left side of the page and click អ្នកផ្សេងទៀត >> សែលបញ្ជា.
- By default, you will be at the home directory of the server. By running cd folder_name command, you can navigate to the folder where you would like to create CSR and Private key files. Also, you can create a new folder by running:
mkdir folder_name - While you are at the desired directory, paste the following command into the command prompt field:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out example_com.csr -keyout example_com.key -subj “/C=CC/ST=StateName/L=CityName/O=OrgName/OU=OrgUnit/CN=example.com/emailAddress=admin@example.com"
