Closely related to How to generate CSR when IIS is not installed.
I also do not have this installed. I am developing a mobile application for iOS, and i am trying to obtain a provisioning file so i can test my app locally. In the process of acquiring this, i am asked for a .csr file, and it instructs me on how to build this on my Mac. Except i don't have a mac, i have a PC, and my company exclusively uses PCs. I need this certificate, without having access to a Mac.
i have seen and used this CSR generator, but it gives me the key and request in long strings of characters, and i need a .csr file to upload to Apple.
Pasting it in notepad and changing the extension to .csr didn't work either :/
Does anyone have any insights on this?
You can install OpenSSL for windows and generate CSR file with this command:
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private_key.key -out cer_sign_request.csr
You'll be asked for a few questions which are optional (press ENTER).
This will generate a private key (such in keychain access) and a certification signing request as csr file.
