# The 'Country' must be 2 alphabetic characters, so for Canada be sure to enter the following in that field: CA
# When inputting the common name you should also add a comma and the www. version of the domain name. For example, if you are generating a CSR for 'foo.com' the Common Name field would look like: foo.com, www.foo.com

#: <pre style="background: #cce6ff; word-break:break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace yourdomain with the domain name you're securing. For example, if your domain name is myawesomesite.com, you would type myawesomesite.key and myawesomesite.csr.</pre>
# Enter the requested information:
#* '''Common Name''': The fully-qualified domain name, or URL, you're securing. <br> If you are requesting a Wildcard certificate, add an asterisk (*) to the left of the common name where you want the wildcard, for example *.myawesomesite.com.
