Frequently Asked Questions
Does a CSR contain the private key?
No. A CSR contains only the public key and certificate request data. The private key must be stored separately and securely.
What are subject alternative names?
Subject alternative names list the domain names, IP addresses or other identities that a certificate should cover.
