SSL Certificates

What is CSR? “Certificate Signing Request”. Simply put, this is a request for the SSL certificate we produce on our server. We send the request to the company from which we purchase the SSL certificate, and it issues the certificate that is compatible with our CSR. Thus, the SSL certificate can only work on the server from which the CSR request originated.
