How to create a Certificate Signing Request?

A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) contains the necessary details required by a certificate authority to generate your certificate. This includes your account name, organization name, country name, and other relevant information.

Follow these steps to generate a CSR on Mac OS:

• Navigate to the Others folder.

• Open Keychain Access.

• Click on Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority.

• The Certificate Assistant window will open.

• Enter the User Email Address and Common Name.

• The CA Email Address field is optional—leave it blank if not required.

• Select Saved to disk as the request method.

• Add a unique name for your certificate and click Save.

• Locate the saved certificate by clicking Show in Finder.
