Can you raise CSR via a local machine rather than accessing server hosting IIS service?
hi guys
We recently ran into some issues regarding SSL certificates. Our provider who hosts the actual web servers, claims that they don't need necessarily access the IIS server in order to create a CSR to send to us so that we can buy the SSL.
They claim we can just set up the CSR from our local machines? How do we do that? Can I access the website they host and from there somehow do this? I don't get it.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

In that case, I can just create a CSR as long as the distinguished name is the same as the website name.
Also, the guys who host it said that once we have bought the SSL, we can then export a PFX file and send it to the guys who host the servers. They can then apply the pfx to the server?
