It contains information that will be included in the certificate such as the organization name, common name (the tape library's domain name), locality, and country.

The CSR also contains the public key that will be included in the SSL certificate. A private key is created at the same time that the CSR is created, making the key pair.

These certificates are self-signed by the library, and will be flagged in library security scans as not secure. Quantum recommends that you replace the library generated certificates with your own self-signed certificates using a Certificate Authority (CA) or certificates from a third party Certificate Authority (CA).

The SSL certificate can be created using two different methods:
