Help! How do I get a CSR to update an SLL if Sonic is my web host but you don't provide technical support for it?

It doesn't look like Sonic is the hosting provider for your website right now, but you can find instructions on how to generate a new CSR on our wiki.

The important fields you need to provide are:
Common Name (this is your domain name, without a 'www.' or slashes)
Organization Name (company name, if applicable)
Organizational Unit (optional - department that handles IT)
City or Locality (City of the business or owner)
State or Province (Full name of the state the above city/locality is in)
Country ('US' is standard here)

"Challenge Passord" should be left blank.


If you have an existing SSL certificate that needs to be re-issued, you can use the following command: *

Code: Select all

openssl req -out YOUR_DOMAIN.csr -key YOUR_DOMAIN.key -new
* "YOUR_DOMAIN" is usually the domain name for your website - for example, kgwalters.com.
** You need what's known as the "private key" file for the "YOUR_DOMAIN.key" part
