Creating a CSR for a Cisco ASA 5508-x running FTD (via FTM)

Creating a CSR for a Cisco ASA 5508-x running FTD (via FTM)

This was done on FTD vs 6.2.3-83. 

  1. The ASA was unable to create a csr, so I took care of that on my linux pc using openssl. You can also get help with that from this page: https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/openssl.htm
  2. Once I had the csr, I submitted to godaddy and they sent me back two files.
  3. I combined the 2 files into one file by running the following in a linux terminal: cat whatever.crt gd_bundle.crt > combined.crt
  4. I then held the combined.crt along with my domain.key (created during csr) in a known director for later use with the ASA
