> # Requestor Information

> Each CA has its own requirements for certificate requestor information. Before requesting a certificate, make sure to find out what your CA requires.

> This dialog allows you to enter the requestor information in the most commonly required fields, or as a distinguished name (DN) for more freedom.

> Server Name. (Optional) Enter the fully qualified hostname of the machine for which you're requesting a certificate.

> Organization. (Optional) Enter your organization's name.

> Organizational Unit. (Optional) Enter your division, department, or other organizational unit with which the certificate will be associated.

> City/locality. (Optional) Enter the city or locality in which your organizational unit is located.

> State/province. (Optional) Enter the state or province in which your organizational unit is located. To leave this field blank, select and delete the default value.

> Country/region. (Optional) Enter the state or province in which your organizational unit is located. To leave this field blank, select and delete the default value.

> You can toggle between two views of the request form using the following button:

> Show DN. Click to show and edit the requestor information in DN format. This button is visible only when you are entering information in fields. Any information in the fields will be displayed as the initial DN. Edit the DN to provide the exact information required by your CA.

> Show Fields. Click to show the requestor information in the fields. This button is visible only when you are entering information in DN format. Information you have entered as a DN will not appear in the fields, but it will remain in the DN view if you click this button again.

> Next. Enter all required information in either the DN or Field view, and while in that view, click this button to continue.
