Can anyone assist with installing a wildcard SSL on BlueOnyx?

Having problems creating the singing request.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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

Many thanks. That seems to have worked.


Can you tell me where the *.<DOMAIN-NAME> certificate and key is placed as I 
have a number of sub-folders. Does it need to go in the main domain 
directory (www.domainname.com) or the root directory of the server 
(/etc/admserv/certs/)


Many thanks.

For a site, the key and cert go  into
cd /home/sites/www.yourdomain.com/serts

The the admin server they go into
/etc/admserv/certs/
