RSA

Generate an RSA public/private key pair

Plugin type CSR
Download Built-in
Compatibility All platforms

Description

Generates RSA key pairs. The number of key bits can be configured in settings.json but may not be less than 2048.

Command line

--csr rsa Activates the plugin
‑‑ocsp-must-staple Enable OCSP Must Staple extension on certificate.
‑‑reuse-privatekey Reuse the same private key for each renewal.

Examples

Typical --csr rsa [‑‑ocsp-must-staple] [‑‑reuse-privatekey]

Settings

Csr.Rsa.KeyBits The number of bits to use for RSA private keys, ultimately determining the strength of the encryption. Minimum is 2048.

Type: number
Default: 3072
Csr.Rsa.SignatureAlgorithm Algorithm to use to sign CSR with RSA public key. Full list of possible options available here.

Note that not all servers will support all types of signatures.

Type: string
Default: "SHA512withECDSA"
