iPhone Developer Portal won’t accept my CSR
Also make sure you use Safari for uploading. I tried Chrome and it always failed. Then I switched to Safari and it worked with the same CSR.

How to decode a CSR File?
It’s not .NET, but for interactive use, try the OpenSSL utilities. Specifically: openssl req -text -in request.csr
Creating an x509 v3 user certificate by signing CSR
You need to specify an extensions file. For example: openssl x509 -days 365 -in myCSR.csr -extfile v3.ext -CA myCA.crt -CAkey myCA.key -CAcreateserial -out userCertificate.crt The extensions file (v3.ext) can look like this: authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer basicConstraints=CA:FALSE keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
What RSA key length should I use for my SSL certificates?
As of 2020, RSA keys should be 2048 bits. 1024 bits 1024 bits RSA certificates are obsolete and not accepted by browsers. Firefox stopped accepting 1024 bits RSA certificates in 2014. Certificate authorities stopped delivering 1024 bits RSA certificates in 2014 or before. See GlobalSign or Comodo notice. 1024 bits keys were deprecated because they … Read more
Where is the private key after using certreq for CSR generation on Windows 10?
It’s stored in the Windows certificate store. When you import the signed certificate, you will find you have a corresponding private key. It matches them by modulus, if I recall. You can get a list of the private keys you have as a result of certificate enrollment requests (such as you made with certreq) by … Read more
Does it matter where the CSR and key files for SSL certification are generated?
Your understanding is correct. All other things being equal, it doesn’t matter; but there are wrinkles. One advantage to generating them on the server in question is it minimises the chance of the key being compromised in transit. As long as you use a secure machine to generate them, and a secure method (immune to … Read more
How do you sign a Certificate Signing Request with your Certification Authority?
1. Using the x509 module openssl x509 … … 2 Using the ca module openssl ca … … You are missing the prelude to those commands. This is a two-step process. First you set up your CA, and then you sign an end entity certificate (a.k.a server or user). Both of the two commands elide … Read more
Can I reuse a SSL CSR?
As long as your using the same key, domain (aka common-name), contact details and validity period you should be able to use the same CSR. Though to be honest generating a CSR is a pretty simple job, so if you need to amend the contact details (which a lot of SSL providers are strict on) … Read more
Must CSRs be generated on the server that will host the SSL certificate?
No. It is not necessary to generate the CSR on the machine that you want to host the resulting certificate on. The CSR does need to be generated either using the existing private key that the certificate will be eventually paired with or its matching private key is generated as part of the CSR creation … Read more
What is a challenge password?
The “challenge password” requested as part of the CSR generation, is different from the passphrase used to encrypt the secret key (requested at key generation time, or when a plaintext key is later encrypted – and then requested again each time the SSL-enabled service that uses it starts up). Here’s a key being generated, and … Read more
