Description
A descriptive name of the domain for identification and management purposes.
The name that other organizations see as the holder (owner) of the certificate. In
general, use your registered business name or official company name for this
purpose.
Note: Generally, all of your certificates should have the same value in the
Subject field.
From the drop-down list, select one of the following hash algorithms:
• MD5. A 128-bit (16-byte) message digest, slightly faster than SHA-1.
• SHA-1. A 160-bit (20-byte) message digest, slightly stronger than MD5.
Although this seems to be a drop-down list, the only possible selection is RSA.
In other words, RSA is the default to generate a CSR.
