FlexNet Code Insight 6.14.0
The following provides a procedure for generating a certification request (CSR) into the file myKEY.csr to send to the Certificate Authority. Consult the Certificate Authority for any specific instructions.
To generate the CSR, do the following:
| 1. | From DOS or Linux, enter the following command to create the CSR file: |
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias myKey -file myKey.csr -keystore myKeystore.jks
where you provide the following (as defined when you created the keystore in Creating the Keystore):
| • | myKey—The alias that you created for the private key (the certificate entry) that will be imported in the keystore. |
| • | myKeystore—The file name for the keystore that you created. Provide the path if the you are not running the command from the directory in which the keystore resides. |
| 2. | Request a 20148-bit certificate from the Certificate Authority, sending the CSR file. |
The Certificate Authority returns the file in a p7b file.
