SSL CSR Not being generated correctly

[schabotte]

Hi,

I'm working on renewing my SSL certificate.

I went to the SSL screen and selected create a certificate request.

I selected 2048 bits because that is what is now required by rapidssl to generate the other codes.

When I pasted it into their CSR box, it got rejected with the following error

"Your CSR contains a key size that is no longer considered secure. Security best practices require a minimum key size of 2048 bits. Please submit a new CSR with a minimum 2048 bit key size."

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

I'm running
DirectAdmin 1.33.6
Apache 1.3.41

----

As an aside, I went to csrgenerator.com to generate a 2048 bit CSR. This one worked fine at rapidssl but when I inserted the CSR/key they generated into DA, it would not store it so it proved to be a dead end.

Thanks,
Steven

Oh... it also did not show an RSA private key - just the CSR when it was generated in DA.

Do I just use the private key that was in the main page certificate box for the prior certificate?

Make sure your entire hosting stack, DirectAdmin, and SSL are uptodate.
