ruby on rails - Understanding and creating the certificate request & Private Key -
so i'm creating rapidssl on linode vps ruby on rails - spree application.
i'm new ssl , in documentation it's asking: put in name of server says server.
my question: how figure out server name of vps on linode?
rapidssl documentation https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/support/ssl-certificate-support/index?page=content&actp=crosslink&id=so17540
snippet:
login server via terminal client (ssh). @ prompt, type:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
where server name of server. //end of snippet
any other caveats avoid appreciated.
one of input's when creating certificate says:
common name (eg, name or server's hostname) []:
and in page mentioned, can read:
common name (cn): common name host + domain name. looks "www.company.com" or "company.com".
