Table 14-17 Fields on the Certificate Request Generator Form
Field Description
Country code Two-letter ISO code for your country. The code for the United
States is US.
Organizational unit name Name of your division, department, or other operational unit of
your organization.
Organization name Name of your organization. The certificate authority may
require any host names entered in this attribute belong to a
domain registered to this organization.
E-mail address E-mail address of the administrator. The digital certificate is
mailed to this e-mail address.
Full host name Fully qualified name of the WebLogic Server on which the
digital certificate will be installed. This name is the one used
for DNS lookups of the WebLogic Server, for example,
node.com. Web browsers compare the host name in the URL
to the name in the digital certificate. If you change the host
name later, you must request a new digital certificate.
Locality name (city) Name of your city or town. If you operate with a license
granted by a city, this attribute is required; you must enter the
name of the city that granted your license.
State name Name of the state or province in which your organization
operates if your organization is in the United States or Canada,
respectively. Do not abbreviate.
Private Key Password The password used to encrypt the private key.
Enter a password in this field if you want to use a protected key
with WebLogic Server. If you choose to use a protected key,
you are prompted for the password whenever the key is used. If
you specify a password, you get a PKCS-8 encrypted private
key. BEA recommends using a password to protect private
keys.
If you do not want to use a protected key, leave this field blank.
To use protected private keys, enable the Key Encrypted
attribute on the SSL tab of the Server window in the
Administration Console.
