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
you company has a full PKI, your Wireless Edge Services zl 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.
