certificatemanager.generateCSR(keyBits, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Call this method to generate a new certificate request with the specified parameters. The newly generated CSR is saved in CertificateRequest property. Use ExportCSR and ExportKey to serialize the generated objects.
