You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:California
Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Valley Center
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Precision Web Hosting, Inc.
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:WebDev
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:www.yourdomain.com
Email Address []:ssladmin at precisionweb.net
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

cat request



The "request" is the CSR. After you get the certificate then I copy in the
cerfiticate, key, and request to the certs directory.  Then from the GUI,
import the  certificate 2, certificate 1, then root cert in that order.
