SSL Information

My company is looking into setting up SSL for Adobe Connect Pro 7. I've looked at the documentation and have tried to find online the best way to generate a CSR for our server.

The application and meeting server reside on one server currently.

So how do I go about generating a CSR and submitting it to say Thawte or Verisign? OpenSSL? Keytool? Any other method?

I've done this for Apache using OpenSSL before but that was on a Linux server. I've also done this for IIS 6.0

Can anyone point me in the right direction to doing this or give me instructions here?

    Thank you for the reply. The manual doesn't really say what to use to generate the CSR. The webserver runs on Java so I thought about using keytool but haven't used that before.

    Now hopefully others who are wondering what to use to generate the CSR will now have a little more clarification.


    I downloaded the OpenSSL for Windows to generate mine. http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

    I had to get the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable and use Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8h for generating mine.

    Hi there,

    if you want to secure the application server and the meeting server, generate CSR for both FQDNs using for examle OpenSSL. You need to generate a private key and then just run this command to generate the CSR:
    req –new –key www.mydomain.com.key.pem –out www.mydomain.com.csr

    The process of requesting the cert is different from authority to authority, so once you have the private key and CSR, you should contact the signing authority to check how to request the public cert.

    Just don't forget, running both servers with SSL, app and meeting, you need two FQDNs and therefore two Certificates.
