What is a CSR?

A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a unique request based off of your private key. It’s encrypted and it contains details on the applicant and the organization the certificate will be issued to. You will need to submit a complete CSR when generating an SSL Certificate starting with the leading five dashes, and ending with the trailing five dashes. 

 

An example is shown below:
