Common name field, type a common name, and then select Next. (Important: The

key and information signed with your private key.

certificate request.
15. Select
Next and select Finish to complete the request process.

continue on the ETV Portal Server. Purchasing a CA-signed certificate will cause a security
alert in the browser upon access to the server.
