The command to generate the CSR is as follows: These are the X.509 attributes of the certificate.īlue Coat recommends SHA-2 for Certificates. The second option is to self-sign the CSR (Step 3 uses this for demonstration).ĭuring the generation of the CSR, you are prompted for several pieces of information. The CSR is sent to a Certificate Authority, such as Verisign, that verifies the identity of the requestor and issues a signed certificate. Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)Īfter the private key is generated, you can generate a Certificate Signing Request.

Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulusĬ) The server.key generates in Blue Coat Reporter 9\utilities\ssl this is required later in the procedure. Loading 'screen' into random state - done Openssl >genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048ī) After pressing Enter, you are asked to enter a pass phrase for the server.key. Openssl >genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

If it uses encrypted key, openssl asks for pass phrase.Ī) Double-click the openssl tool under Blue Coat Reporter 9\utilities\ssl and enter the following command: The key length 1024 is not long enough the recommended length is 2048. Blue Coat does not recommend non-encrypted key. This key is a 1024-bit or 2048 RSA key with encrypted. The first step is to create your RSA Private Key. It can also be used to generate self-signed certificates that can be used for testing purposes or internal usage (more details in Step 3). Use the openssl toolkit, which is available in Blue Coat Reporter 9\utilities\ssl, to generate an RSA Private Key and CSR (Certificate Signing Request).
#Get size of certificate with openssl tool windows#
In Windows with Reporter installed, the OpenSSL utility is located in " Program Files\Blue Coat Reporter 9\utilities\ssl" You can use the Reporter OpenSSL utility to generate a Private Key, Certificate Siging Request (CSR) and Self-Signed Certificate.
