Get SSL certificate from CSR file

Question

I am using certbot to generate trusted SSL certificate for my io.netty HTTP servers.

I've ran the following command:

$ sudo ./path/to/certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d example.com -d 
www.example.com

Now I've got a csr file and a private key file: 0000_csr-certbot.pem 0000_key-certbot.pem.

Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to go from CSR to SSL certificate?

Answer 1

You have to send that CSR key to the certificate authority to request the digital certificate.
