SignCSR Method

Creates a signed certificate from a CSR.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function SignCSR(ByVal CSR As String, ByVal SerialNumber As Integer) As String

[C#]
public string SignCSR(byte[] CSR, int serialNumber);

Remarks

This method will create a signed certificate from a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). CSR specifies the Certificate Signing Request to be signed.

SerialNumber specifies the certificate serial number. All certificates signed by the same issuer must have different (unique) serial numbers.

The time validity of the new certificate is determined by the CertValidityTime configuration setting, and the key size by the CertKeyLength configuration setting.

NOTE: This functionality is only available in Windows.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (SignCSRAsync) for use in the WinRT environment.
