Submitting a Certificate Request in Manual Mode

In manual mode, you need to retrieve a CA certificate, generate a local RSA key pair, and submit a local
certificate request for an entity.
The goal of retrieving a CA certificate is to verify the authenticity and validity of a local certificate.
Generating an RSA key pair is an important step in certificate request. The key pair includes a public
key and a private key. The private key is kept by the user, while the public key is transferred to the CA
along with some other information.
