How to generate CSR on WHM/cPanel?

Once you order an SSL certificate, you need to generate a Certificate Signature Request (CSR). Here are the steps you need to follow to generate it:

For WHM (WebHost Manager)

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Go to the SSL/TLS section.
3. Click on "Generate an SSL Certificate and Signing Request".
4. Fill in the following details:
   • Domains: Your fully qualified domain name (FQDN), e.g., example.com
   • City: City where your business is located
   • State: State or Province
   • Country: Two-letter country code (e.g., US, IN)
   • Company Name
   • Company Division (optional)
   • Email
   • Passphrase (optional, but recommended)
   • Key Size: 2048-bit (recommended)
5. Click "Create".

This will generate a CSR, a Private Key, and a self-signed certificate. Use the CSR to obtain an SSL certificate from a Certificate Authority.

For cPanel Users

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Go to the SSL/TLS section under "Security".
3. Click "Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificate signing requests."
4. Fill in the same fields as listed above.
5. Click "Generate".

After generation, the CSR will be displayed on the page. Copy it and submit it to your SSL provider.
