Hi - I've been having a really tough time getting a CSR for my custom domain that I have running with google app engine. Is there anyone who can tell me how to get a CSR for my domain? I am trying to upgrade my site to SSL and my Certificate Authority (CA is Comodo) needs me to give them a CSR in order to set everything up. How can I get a CSR from google or what is the process for maybe being able to create one myself? I originally bought my domain through Godaddy, but I'm not hosting it through Godaddy, I'm hosting it through the App Engine. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey Brian,

There are many tutorials out there on the web as to how you can use OpenSSL to create a CSR. Here's a document produced by OpenSSL.org which is very good. You can also read about it on many sites by googling.

Generally, this forum is meant for broad discussion of the platform and its services, not for 1-on-1 technical support or questions. This question might be better answered by consulting Google or maybe posting a question to stackoverflow or serverfault, although I'm sure there are already so many questions and answers on this same topic that to create a new one would invite "duplicate" flags. 

Overall, there's a wealth of information out there that I encourage you to access, and I wish you the best of luck in getting your certificate set up. As you go, make sure to consult the docs on Custom Domains and SSL.

Best wishes,

Nick
