Hi,

I need to generate a csr for code signing. Is this possible on appveyor?

https://uk.godaddy.com/help/windows-generate-csr-for-code-or-driver-signing-certificate-7282

I've looked for examples of someone else trying to do the same thing but have't found anything.

Thanks,
Seán

   Hi Sean,

   You can use OpenSSL command-line (located in C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin) to generate certificate request: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/req.html

   Great, thanks Feodor.

   I'll only need to create the csr file once, presumable the idea is to only generate it on first build or is there a better way of doing this?

   Also I need the contents of the rsa file which is generated to give to godaddy - how would I access it after?

   I think you should generate it locally then and import during the build following the approach described here: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/private-git-sub-modules#configu...
