generating a 1024bit CSR using Exchange 2000
in [Microsoft Exchange]
|
From: Brad Pears on 8 Mar 2010 11:54 We use an SSL certificate to access our exchange server using OWA. I need to generate a 1024 bit CSR. When I go in to generate it, I am not asked what bit (512/1024 etc..). It just generates the CSR automatically - but when I sent that to our provider to obtain the certificate, they advised me that it was only 512 and that I needed 1024. THe funny thing is that when I open the existing certificate, the details clearly show it as RSA - 512bit !!! Should I not be generating another 512 bit key??? Why would they be asking for 1024? How do I generate a 1024bit CSR from my SBS 2000 box - running Excahnge 2000?? Thanks, Brad
