SSL Certificate Syntax Error

Hi,

I am setting up SSL for the Domino Server running in my organization. In doing so, I get the following certificate after creating the key ring and requesting the certificate.

-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

However, when I go to merge this certificate into the key ring, I get an error saying Syntax error and am unable to proceed further.

One thing I can think of is that while creating the key ring, I gave the host name as the IP Address of the server. can that be the reason?

Is it a certificate that You want to send to a CA?

Yepp, the text says, that this is a certificate request, not a certificate.

I believe this is a Certificate Request. I have sent this request to the CA using the Certificate Request database. I think they will send the Certificate to me on mail, which I then have to merge into the key ring file. Am I correct? How long before the CA sends the certificate?

Your CA should be the first address to ask this question …
