MDaemon does not have a method of creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for you in order to obtain a third party SSL certificate issued by a Trusted Root Authority. Windows has a command line utility, certreq.exethat will allow you to create a certificate request and import the new certificate into the Windows Certificate Store, where it can be used with MDaemon.
1. Generating a CSR :
The example below will generate a CSR for a 2048 bit key length certificate.
;----------------- request.inf ----------------- [NewRequest] Subject="CN=mail.example.com,OU=XYZ CA Limited,O=XYZ CA Limited,S=New Jersey,L=Clifton,C=US" KeySpec=1 KeyLength=2048 Exportable=TRUE MachineKeySet=TRUE SMIME=False PrivateKeyArchive=FALSE UserProtected=FALSE UseExistingKeySet=FALSE ProviderName="Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" ProviderType=12 RequestType=PKCS10 KeyUsage=0xa0 Silent=TRUE [EnhancedKeyUsageExtension] OID=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 ;-----------------------------------------------
C:\>certreq -new CSRParameters.inf CSR.pem
2. Installing the Certificate :
C:\>certreq -accept mail.example.com.crt
