This dialog is for creating self-signed certificates and certificate requests.
| Type | Self-signed certificate or signing request. |
| Key | Select the key strength of the certificate here. Stronger keys are more secure but encryption/decryption is way slower. You can also reuse the key of the current certificate. |
| Validity | The number of years the certificate shall be valid from now. Applies only to self-signed certificates. |
| Common Name | The common name should match the host name of the box. |
| Other naming fields | These fields are optional. |
| DNS Name | If the box has got a DNS name you should enter it here. It will be stored as a SubjectAltName in the certificate. |
| IP address | If the box has got a fixed IP address you should enter it here. It will be stored as a SubjectAltName in the certificate. |
