To generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Vesta CP for obtaining an SSL certificate, follow these steps:

1. Log into Vesta CP:

   • Navigate to your account's dashboard or domain management section.

2. Locate the Domain Manager:

   • Find the specific domain for which you need to generate the CSR and select it.

3. Access SSL/TLS Settings:

   • Click on the SSL/TLS tab associated with the domain.
   • Scroll down to the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section.

4. Generate the CSR:

   • Enter the necessary details:
     • Domain Name: The fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
     • Country Code: Select your country from the provided list.
     • State/Province: If applicable, enter the state or province.
     • City/Town: Provide the city or town.
     • Organization Name: Include the organization name (required for OV and EV certificates).
     • Common Name: Enter the domain name as it is registered.
   • Ensure all fields are filled accurately to avoid issues during certificate validation.

5. Save the Private Key:

   • After generating the CSR, a private key will be downloaded or generated.
   • Save this private key securely on your server or computer. This key is crucial for installing the SSL certificate later.

6. Submit the CSR:

   • Once the CSR is ready, submit it to your preferred Certificate Authority (CA) or upload it through their platform.

7. Install the SSL Certificate:

   • After obtaining the certificate from the CA, download the certificate file.
   • Upload the certificate and the private key to Vesta CP to complete the installation.

Notes:

• Ensure that all data in the CSR is accurate to prevent any validation errors.
• The private key is not stored in Vesta CP by default, so it's essential to save it securely.
• For Domain Validation (DV) certificates, you can use "NA" as the organization name if needed.
