There are multiple ways to create a CSR - in fact, many Registrars have their own utilities to create a CSR for you.Р”Р„lternatively, if you have a local CA Server operating in your network, you may be issued a certificate automatically based on Active Directory policies. A CSR is a standardized way to send data about the system you are working on up to your Registrar- typically the domain in question, location information, key size and key type.
