A third party company will host a web page in our behalf. This company created and sent to me a .CSR file. I want to create a SSL certificate manually to send to them (this is just a test by now, so no concerns about renewing the cert at this moment).
I ran the command below locally in my machine:
sudo certbot --csr /home/myuser/secure.pay.ovoenergy.csr certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns
Then, I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred: The CSR is unacceptable (e.g., due to a short key) :: Error finalizing order :: CSR contains one or more email address fields
Checking the CSR, there is only one email provided, and it seems to be ok.
CSRs can be considered "public" / "non-private" information; They contain no key(s).
If you care to share the CSR, we might be better able to assist/troubleshoot.
