One of the fields prompted is "Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)"
The FQDN is a very important field. Please be sure to provide the following value for this field:
For test environment CSR : GRX-<10DigitsoldTo>.ACC1914.Test.AppleCare
For production environment CSR : GRX-<10DigitsoldTo>.ACC1914.Prod.AppleCare
The leading zeros are important and the soldTo should always be 10 digits. For example, if your soldTo is 0000098765, the value should be
GRX-0000098765.ACC1914.Test.AppleCare for test and
GRX-0000098765.ACC1914.Prod.AppleCare for production.
Please note the following during CSR generation:
- No part of the CSR should contain any reference to Apple. When answering questions related to org name, unit, etc.
