The current version number of Cygwin appears.
Click Next to start the installation.
After Cygwin installs, you can generate the CSR.
These instructions to generate a CSR assume that you are using the
Cygwin UNIX environment installed as described in
Cygwin UNIX Environment for Windows," page
To generate a CSR using the Cygwin UNIX environment:
Double-click the Cygwin icon on the desktop.
A command window opens with a UNIX bash environment.
To change to a particular drive, use the command: cd driveLetter:
At the $ prompt, type the following to generate a CSR:
openssl req -new -nodes -keyout privateKeyFilename -out
certRequestFilename
For example:
openssl req -new -nodes -keyout private.key -out public.csr
Status messages about the private key generation appear. You will be
prompted for information such as country name.
When prompted for the Common name, enter the DNS name of the
Application Gateway.
The name that you enter will appear in the certificate and must match the
name expected by PCs that connect to the Application Gateway. Thus, if
you alias DNS names, you will need to use the alias name instead.
Submit your CSR (public.csr) to an authorized certificate provider such as
Verisign. When asked for the type of server that the certificate will be used
with, indicate "Apache". (If you indicate "Microsoft", the certificate might
be in PKCS7 format and you will need to follow the procedure in
"Converting to a PEM-Formatted Certificate," page 18
certificate to a PEM format.)
The certificate provider will return a Signed Certificate to you by e-mail
within several days.
