We are starting an IFS upgrade and will need an SSL Certificate. Are there tools available in IFS for creating a certificate request?

Hi @tcollins57,

 

IFS does not have any tools in the software builds to generate a CSR. In essence, IFS only uses a standard SSL certificate that comes in pkcs#12 format with full path chain which is quite generic. You can use pretty much any SSL specific tool to do this.

If you are planning to use DigiCert for your certificate, you can probably used the DigiCert tool  (https://www.digicert.com/kb/util/ssl-certificate-renewal-using-digicert-utility-for-microsoft-servers.htm) to do this easily. I’m guessing that other providers will also have similar tools to make life easier for the requesters. 

 

Cheers.
