An Introduction to AutoCSR
AutoCSR is a unique GlobalSign innovation designed to speed up the application process for DomainSSL and OrganizationSSL. Certificate Signing Request (CSR) generation remains one of the consistent problem areas faced by customers wishing to secure their server. Often customers are unfamiliar with the CSR generation process or make time-consuming mistakes.
AutoCSR removes the need for the customer to create the CSR on the web server, instead GlobalSign securely creates the CSR on the fly during the Certificate application process instead of requiring the CSR file. AutoCSR also means you do not have to install the SSL certificate on the same computer used during the online SSL application process.
Using AutoCSR
Instead of your issued Certificate being sent by email, you will need to download the Certificate from your Certificate Center account. The Certificate is delivered in PKCS#12 format and also includes the private key (protected by a password)
Currently the GlobalSign AutoCSR option can be used when applying for DomainSSL Certificates and OrganizationSSL Certificates.
The installation process for the issued Certificate will differ based on your web server type. Select from below your certificate type with AutoCSR for dedicated Windows and Linux instructions for each Certificate type.
