What is the meaning of generating CSR in CPanel?
A very important question must be answered at the beginning and before examining the reason for the need to generate CSR in cPanel. What is CSR? CSR stands for, Request, meaning Certificate Signing block an of encrypted text that must be given to the company providing the certificate when requesting SSL activation. The CSR is generated on the server where the SSL certificate is installed and contains information such as company name, domain name and company location.
- The first key is inserted in the displayed certificate, and the private key that is usually created during CSR generation in cPanel is used as the pairing key.
- Remember that the company providing the SSL activation service needs your encrypted text file to generate this certificate. But it needs to send the generated private key .
- After generating the CSR and Private key, keep this key with you in a safe place.
- The generated CSR code will only work with the generated private key. So if you lose this key for any reason, your certificate will no longer work. Because after generating the CSR in cPanel, the information that enters or exits your website will be encrypted, which is done by SSL enabled.
- The decryption of data is also the responsibility of the private key. That’s why you need to store it in a safe place.
