Hello,

I'd like to request the option to chose the key size when generating a CSR for an SSL Certificate.

By default Directadmin creates a 1024 bits key, however, Extended Validation requires 2048 bits.

Would it be possible to add this option to chose?
 
Need to reset the CSR to NULL

I accidentally generated a CSR with 1024 selected. I caught my mistake and created a new CSR with 2048 set correctly, however when I submit the CSR to the Certificate authority, I get an error message stating:

* The CSR key length must be greater then 2048 and less then 4096

I suspect that once I created the 1024 CSR, DA has that cached somewhere. I have restarted my browser, cleared my cache dsiabled SSL, and started over and but DA still has the CSR stored in the lower window of the Create SSL interface screen.

Thoughts?

Hello,

It's a bug/quirk where DA does not create a new key if one already exists when creating a CSR. To make a 2048 bit certificate, first create a self-signed cert using the 2048 size. Once created, then create a CSR and DA will use the new 2048 key. Using the self-signed cert option will always create you a new key.
