The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is generated with your web server software, and contains both the public key portion of your web server's key pair and the Distinguished Name (DN) of your web server.

Please reference the Entrust SSL Certificate Enrollment Guide for further instructions on generating a CSR.

The certificate issued by Entrust Certificate Services includes the Common Name of the customer's Web server (for example, www.entrust.com). This Common Name identifies the Domain Name registered by an organization.

To determine the registered owner of the Domain Name, Entrust shall look up the Domain Name in the appropriate WHOIS database. The registered owner of the domain must match the organization name verified by Entrust.

For more information, please see the Entrust SSL Certificate Enrollment Guide.

• Billing Contact - The person where the billing receipt should be sent.
• Technical Contact - The technical contact is usually the person responsible for the daily operation of the Web server on which the Entrust Certificate will be installed. This contact will receive the certificate when it is issued.
  
  If your server is hosted by a third-party or ISP, someone within that organization should be listed as the technical contact.
• Authorization Contact - Must be a senior member of the organization that owns the domain and has the authority to request an Entrust Certificate on behalf of the organization.

For more information, please see the Entrust SSL Certificate Enrollment Guide.

The generation of a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) also includes the generation of a web server private key. It is essential to back up the private key as it directly corresponds with the Entrust SSL Certificate you will receive from Entrust. The private key is a very sensitive piece of information so please take appropriate steps to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the web server's private key.

Entrust provides documentation for backing up a web server private key for many common web servers here: http://www.entrust.net/customer_support/webserver.cfm.
