Send the certificate request to the CA

1. Display the persona’s properties to verify the content of the certificate request by using this command syntax:
   $ server_certificate<movername>-persona -info{-all| <persona_name>| id=<persona_id>}

   where:

   <movername> = name of the physical Data Mover with which the persona is associated.

   <persona_name> = name of the persona.

   <persona_id> = ID of the persona. The ID is generated when the persona is created.

   Example:

   To display the properties for the default persona, including the certificate request, type:

   $ server_certificate server_2 -persona -info default

   Output:

   server_2 : 
   id=1
   name=default
   next state=Request Pending 
   next certificate: 
   request subject = CN=name;CN=1.2.3.4
   request:

2. If you have not already done so, save the certificate request to a file (for example, server_2.1.request.pem).
3. Send the .pem file to the CA using that company’s website or email.
