If your Barracuda SSL VPN device interface does not support the creation of a 2048 bit certificate signing request (CSR), or if you are looking for a simpler way to create CSRs and install and manage your SSL Certificates, we recommend that you use the ÃÛÌÒTV® Certificate Utility for Windows. If you have a Microsoft server or workstation, you can use the ÃÛÌÒTV® Certificate Utility for Windows to generate your CSR and more. See Barracuda SSL VPN: CSR Creation with the ÃÛÌÒTV® Certificate Utility for Windows.
Barracuda SSL VPN: Generating Your CSR
If your Barracuda SSL VPN device web interface supports the creation of a 2048 bit certificate signing request (CSR), you can use its web interface to create your CSR.
If you already have your SSL, Intermediate, and Root Certificates .crt files, and you just need to install them, see Barracuda SSL VPN ¨C SSL Certificate Installation.
