In this step-by-step tutorial, we will show you how to generate a CSR on Barracuda SSL VPN. You can generate the CSR code directly from your Barracuda SSL VPN account.
Please, follow the steps below:
- Log into your Barracuda SSL VPN dashboard.
- On top of the page, click the Basic tab, and then SSL Certificate.
- In the SSL Certificate Configuration pane, next to Certificate Type, select Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA) from the drop-down list.
- In the Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA) pane, next to Certificate Signing Request (CSR), click Edit Data.
- Next, in the CSR Generation window, fill in the required fields:
- Common Name: provide the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) to which you will assign your SSL Certificate. For example, yourwebsite.com
Note: If you have a Wildcard SSL Certificate, add an asterisk in front of the domain name. For instance, *.yourwebsite.com. - Country Code (2 characters): enter the two-letter code of your country. For example, US. Here you can find the full list of country codes.
- State or Province: write the full name of your state. For example, California

- Double check the information you’ve just submitted and click Save Changes.
- Now, in the Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA) pane, click Download CSR.
- Copy your CSR code into a text document such as Notepad. Don’t forget to include the begin header and end footer as well.
