Configuring the CSR

You can configure the Certificate Signing Request in the CSR tab, then download the file and send it to a Certificate Authority (CA) to obtain a signed certificate.

In the Vocera Platform Web Console, navigate to the Vocera XMPP Adapter and view the Additional Actions options in the sidebar help section. The following operations can be performed by an administrator from the XMPP Certificate Manager.

Complete the fields and click the Download Certificate Signing Request link to generate and download a new CSR. All fields must be populated to generate the CSR.

A servlet request is made to create a new CSR, which is returned as a downloadable PEM format file. When the CSR is generated, a self-signed certificate is placed in the "domainName_csr.jks" KeyStore.

The XMPP Certificate Manager displays details about the current CSR in progress, gathered from the self-signed certificate which was stored in the "domainName_csr.jks" KeyStore when a new CSR is generated. These details include: domain name (or common name automatically populated from the domain name), and the country, city, state, organization, and organizational unit configured in the current CSR.

If no current CSR is in progress or downloaded, the details will display as shown below.
