To submit a request to a public certification authority

1. Open the output file.
   
   
2. Copy and paste the contents of the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) into the appropriate text box beginning with:
   
   

   	Copy Code
   -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

   And it ends with:
   
   

   	Copy Code
   -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST

3. If prompted, specify the following:
   
   
   • Microsoft as the server platform.
     
     
   • IIS as the version.
     
     
   • Web Server as the usage type.
     
     
   • PKCS7 as the response format.
     
     
4. When the public CA has verified your information, you will receive an e-mail message containing text required for your certificate.
   
   
5. Copy the text from the e-mail message and save the contents in a text file (.txt) on your local computer.
   
   
6. Download the root CA chain of the public CA and install it on the local computer store of the Edge Server.
