If they generate x509 compliant CSRs, then this should work. If not, please file an issue with the CSR, and I'll take a look to see why it's not parsing correctly.

Yup, though not sure I am doing it right.

Printed the public key and that worked fine. Went to step 2 and pasted in my CSR, and that also worked fine.

Basically Start Keychain -> "Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority" -> Save to disk.

Though weirdly enough, my public key generated from keygen didn't quite work, I actually had to use

"openssl rsa -in myPrivateKey -pubout" for it to accept it. Why is that?
