Abstract:

The process of acquiring SSL certificates for enterprise SSL customers is improved by reducing the number of steps used to acquire the SSL certificate and streamlining the process. An on-line CSR generator on the certificate enrollment form is used to submit the customer information (i.e. Common Name, Organizational Unit, Organization, City/Locality, State/Province, and Country Code) and generate the CSR. By making the CSR generation part of the enrollment process, the administrator can use the same enrollment form to submit the customer information along with the contact information pertinent to the enterprise.
