Generate a Certificate Signing Request

To configure mutual TLS authentication, you need to first generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to get your TLS certificate:

  1. In the Controller Tenant UI, click Alert & Respond > Mutual TLS Configuration. Click + New Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Enter the following details:
  2. Organization (Optional). The legal name of your organization.
  3. Department (Optional). The name of your department handling the certificate.
  4. Country. Select the country where your organization is located. By default, the country selected is the United States. Note that this field is mandatory and can’t be left blank.
  5. State (Optional). The name of the state where your organization is located.
  6. City (Optional). The name of the city where your organization is located. Click Generate CSR.
  7. Click Download CSR to download the .csr file. Note that you can also copy the content and save as a .csr file.
When you generate a CSR, Splunk AppDynamics creates a public- private key pair. The public key is available with the CSR and the private key resides with Splunk AppDynamics in a secure key store.
