Generate a CSR for IBM ICSS

Step 1: Embed our Root Certificate

Download the ipsCA root file in a Text file from the following link: http://certs.ipsca.com/store/ipsCAGlobal.der

Save it on your server hard drive.

Go to the Administration interface of your web server.

Underneath the "Security" configuration section of your server you will see a link called "Receive Certificate".

You will need to specify your current keyring file and pass phrase, and ask it to install the root certificate that you saved on your hard drive.

 Step 2:  Mark ipsCA Root as a trusted Root

Under "Security" again you will see a link called "Key Management".

You will need to specify the key ring password.

Select "Designate Trusted Root Keys".

The ipsCA root will be listed in X.400 format.

Select it, then press Apply.

The ipsCA root is now a trusted CA for your server.

Step 3: Generate your own key and CSR

Go to the "Create Keys" link on the Admin page under "Security".

Choose "Other" as your CA.

On the next page, DO NOT GIVE A POSTAL CODE.

Specify your country as the two-letter code in UPPER CASE.

Give your full state name if you are in the USA.

Don't mail the certificate  request to the CA, you are going to save it to a file instead.

Make a note where you saved it (the default is C:\WWW\Bin\CertReq.txt).

That file is what you paste into our forms - it is your CSR.
