Creating a Certificate Request to Send to a CA. Instead of creating a
self-signed certificate for a trustpoint, you can upload a certificate signed by
a CA. A certificate signed by a trusted CA carries more validity than a self-
signed certificate. Also, if your company has a full PKI, your Wireless Edge
Services xl Module should have a certificate issued by your company’s CA.
To obtain a certificate signed by a CA, you must first generate a certificate
request. Complete these steps:
1. On the Certificates Wizard Welcome screen, in the Select a certificate
operation section, select Create a new certificate.
2. Click the Next button. The screen shown in Figure 2-105 is displayed.
