Depending on your environment, you may need to create a certificate from a certificate signing request (CSR). For example, you may need to do this if you have a clustered environment with Tomcat configured to work behind a load balancer.

Note:

The certificate created from the CSR is intended solely for purposes of communication between Jamf Pro and a managed computer or mobile device.

To create a certificate from a CSR, you need a request in Base64-encoded PEM format.

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.
  2. In the Global section, click PKI certificates .
  3. Click the Management Certificate Template tab, and then click Built-in CA.
  4. Click Create Certificate from CSR.
  5. In the CSR field, paste the CSR.

    The request must begin with ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST---- and end with ----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----

  6. Select a certificate type.
  7. Click Create.

    The certificate file (.pem) will download immediately.
