I need to submit my CSR certificate (generated with openSSL) to my ssl provider.

I need to copy paste it in a text area. I was wondering if I should copy paste also the beginning and the end:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

and

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

or not... thanks!

Update

Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: www.mydomain.com Email Address []: [email protected]

  • Thanks. One more thing: I've submitted the certificated and now I need to verify the domain ownership. 1. How long does it take to get the email from the ssl provider (godaddy) 2. This is my configuration (see question) Commented Nov 11, 2010 at 13:21
  • My email address is just gmail and not the same domain.. I've just realized now this can be an issue.. is it ? Commented Nov 11, 2010 at 13:22
  • Apparently the email has been sent to my provider. I guess I have to change the WHOIS settings. But I cannot do it from my VPS control panel. How can I change the confirmation email for the SSL certificate ? Commented Nov 11, 2010 at 13:49

    @Patrick you'll need to contact your domain's registrar (or use their website) to change the WHOIS settings. If your VPS provider registered the domain for you, you'll need to have them change the information if they don't provide a method in the control panel. Commented Nov 11, 2010 at 14:18
