Save the CSR to a file.
Copy the entire CSR, including the "-----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- " and "-----END
CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- " lines, and paste it into a text
editor. Save the file with a .csr extension. The name you
define can indicate the server on which the certificate is to be
used.
Save the private key to a file.
Note: Provided you intend to use the same certificate number
when adding the certificate returned to you (after the CSR
has been processed by a certificate authority), this step is
only necessary if you want to create a backup copy of the
private key. When generating a CSR, the private key is
created and stored (encrypted) on the VPN Gateway using the
specified certificate number. When you receive the certificate
(containing the corresponding public key) and add it to the
VPN Gateway, make sure you specify the same certificate
number that is used for storing the private key. Otherwise, the
private key and the public key in the certificate will not match.
Type the display command and press ENTER. Choose to
encrypt the private key, and specify a password phrase. Make
sure to remember the password phrase.
