To generate your CSR, you will need to log in to your Plesk account. The screenshots are from the latest Plesk release (v9), but the instructions apply to versions 7-9.
- Log in to Plesk. Click on 'Domains' from the left-hand menu, then click the domain you wish to request the certificate for. Click the 'SSL Certificates' icon.
- Click the 'Add SSL Certificate' icon.
- Fill out your information in the form. Note: for wildcard certificates, the Domain Name field should be in the format: *.mydomain.com.
We advise to use at least a 2048-bit key, which is the minimum for EV certificates.
Click the 'Request' button. - You will be returned to the 'SSL Certificates' section. Click the name of the certificate in the list.
- Scroll down to the section labelled 'CSR'. Highlight the whole CSR as shown in the screenshot, and then you can copy and paste the CSR into the web enrollment form.
