Do not modify the CSR; you must send it to the CA as it is. You can either submit
the request automatically or copy the request and manually submit it to the CA by
visiting the URL it provides for this purpose. Note that the wizard's
auto-submission feature—a feature that enables you to send the request directly to
a remote CA without having to manually copy the base-64 encoded certificate and
paste the request in an enrollment form—can be used to submit requests to a
remote Certificate Manager or Registration Manager (if that Certificate Manager is
configured to receive requests via the Registration Manager) only. It can't be used
for submitting the request to a third-party CA. For a third-party CA, you must
manually copy the certificate request and paste it into the text area provided in the
CA's enrollment form.
