Replace or Resubmit a Certificate Signing Request for SSL

You can retrieve a copy of a certificate signing request associated with the private key/certificate pair in use by the Apache server or the UI. The ability to get a copy of the certificate signing request is useful if you delete the request file or you do not save the file. A copy of the request is also useful for resubmitting the request at a later date before the signed certificate expires.

The Retrieve function lets you obtain a copy of the certificate signing request.

Note: The Retrieve option is only available if a certificate has been requested and you have not deleted the SSL configuration by using the Restart button.

To retrieve a certificate signing request

1. From the UI, select Infrastructure, SSL Configuration.

   The SSL Configuration dialog opens.

2. Click Retrieve.

   A File Download dialog opens, prompting you to open or save the file.

3. Save the file.

The signing request is now retrieved and the UI returns to the SSL Configuration dialog.
