Step #2: Requesting a certification The certification request must be sent to a certificate authority (for example: www.verisign.com). This example presents the steps to follow to send a certificate request to Verisign. These steps are similar for the other authorities. - In your browser, type: http://www.verisign.com

- Fill out the short form and click "Submit".
- Follow the certification wizard step by step:
- Step 1 of 5: Generate CSR: Click "Continue".
- Step 2 of 5: Submit CSR: Copy the content of the file that was previously created ("certreq.txt") into the input area and click "Continue".
- Step 3 of 5: Complete Application: The content of the certificate is displayed, enter your personal details (Caution: the accented characters are not allowed, the information must be similar to the one found in the certificate content. Example: the area, the company). Don't forget to specify your email address: the certificate will be sent to this address. Click "Accept".
The certificate will be sent to you within an hour. Step #3: Certification of certificate on the server - Your certificate is in the email sent by VeriSign.
