How to generate random certificates

This document provides information on how to generate random certificates. The Certificate Manager provides the convenience of creating multiple CSR (Certificate Signing Requests) with random common names (CNs) and then signing them all at once. The ability to generate certificates with random CNs is especially valuable in microservices and elastic environments, as it simplifies certificate lifecycle management.

Create a request

To create a request, see How to create a request.

Sign the request

To sign a request, see How to sign a request.

After you sign the request, the system will process and sign the certificates. The processing time may vary depending on the number of random certificates requested.
