Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Generation Instructions - BEA Weblogic 8.1 - 寰宇數位認證中心

To generate a CSR, you will need to create a key pair for your server. These two items are a digital certificate key pair and cannot be separated. If you lose your public/private key file or your password and generate a new one, your SSL Certificate will no longer match. You will have to request a new SSL Certificate and may be charged.

BEA Weblogic 8.1 utilizes the java keytool command line utility to create the CSR and install the SSL certificate. Geotrust recommends that you contact the BEA directly for additional information.

Step 1: Generate a Keystore and Private Key

Create a certificate keystore and private key by executing the following keytool command:
Note: The keytool utility is located in your JDK’s “bin” directory

keytool -genkey -alias <your_alias_name> -keyalg RSA -keystore <your_keystore_filename>

Specify a password. The default value will be "changeit".

Step 2: Generate a CSR

The CSR is then created using the following command:

keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -alias <your_alias_name> -file certreq.csr -keystore <your_keystore_filename>

Note: When generating a CSR, enter the domain of your website (i.e. www.ssl.com.tw) in the "first- and lastname" field.

To copy and paste the file certreq.csr into the enrollment form, open the file in a text editor that does not add extra characters (Notepad or Vi are recommended).
