How to Create a DSA Certificate

To create a certificate for a DSA, you need to provide the DSA name. The DSA must already exist.

Use this process to create a certificate for a DSA:

1. Use a certificate authority that you trust to create a certificate and the associated key pair.

   You can use the following tools:

   • DXcertgen
   • Certificate Authority software such as OpenSSL, which is available from the OpenSSL site.
2. Check the created certificate to ensure that the DSA name in the subject field of the certificate matches the DSA name.
3. Add the root certificate of the Certificate Authority that you used to create the DSA certificate to the end of the file trusted.pem.
