Creating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Log in as smeconfiguser than become root

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out tuamdocs_directroute_ie.csr -keyout tuamdocs_directroute_ie.key -subj "/C=US/ST=Munster/L=Limerick/O=Directroute/OU=IT/CN=tuamdocs.directroute.ie"

This will generate 2 files:

tuamdocs_directroute_ie.key
tuamdocs_directroute_ie.csr

Copy the file tuamdocsdirectrouteie.key to the private certs folder

cp tuamdocs_directroute_ie.key /etc/pki/tls/private/

Ensure the file is in the proper location before deleting it:

cat /etc/pki/tls/private/tuamdocs_directroute_ie.key

rm tuamdocs_directroute_ie.key

Send the CSR to the Certificate Authority of choice

cat tuamdocs_directroute_ie.csr

The certificate authority will reply with a signed public key and intermediary certs. These can be uploaded to the File Fabric.
