5.6 SSL Certificate

The EMC APIs require an SSL certificate for its subdomain e.g. api.mydomain.com

SSL certificate can be purchased from a Certification Authority (CA) like godaddy.com or comodo. 

The process of generating the SSL certificate varies depending on the CA.  In general the first step is to create a csr file (certificate signing request).

The csr file has to be created on the linux server where the EMC APIs are installed.

Below is a short step by step instruction for generating csr from godaddy.
