Manage Certificate Signing Requests

A certificate signing request (CSR) is a public certificate that contains specific information and is used to apply for an SSL/TLS certificate. You can copy/download the certificate signing request in Manufacturing Connect Edge and submit it to a certificate authority for authorization. The certificate authority can then send back a signed identity certificate. You can then install this identity certificate in Manufacturing Connect Edge. See Install an Identity Certificate for details.

You can manage certificate signing requests by navigating to System > Certificates and clicking the Identity tab.

Click the Create Request icon to open the Certificate Signing Request.

You can copy or download the certificate signing request and give it to a Certificate Authority when applying for an SSL Certificate. A private key is usually created at the same time that you create the Certificate Signing Request, making a key pair.
