Generate SSL Key and CSR.txt

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:.
Locality Name (eg, city) []:.
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:
Email Address []:

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Generate the CSR itself with the key

Obviously change "example.org" to be the domain name for the certificate and run this code from terminal on Linux or a Mac:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout example.org.key -out example.org.csr

If a pass phrase is applied to the key you will need that as well to upload a key that matches the resulting certificates without a passphrase. This is actually the most secure and recommended method but does require more collaboration as people always forget their passwords.
