How to Generate Csr for Zeus Server?

SSL certificate is inevitable security protocol that any SMBs or enterprise cannot ignore for their website security, email security, or server security. SSL encrypts the mail or server communication with 256-bit encryption and keeps outsiders away from transmitting data. SSL certificate can be installed on a server to secure the website by displaying sign of green padlock and HTTPS URL in address bar.

Owing to lack of security, the transactions or data transfer between end user and the server will remain exposed for attackers and they can take advantage of it. In this short information, we will talk about CSR generation process on Zeus web server.
