Systems and methods for creating customer-specific tools for generating certificate signing requests

摘要

A method for creating customer-specific tools for generating certificate signing requests may include (1) identifying a request from a customer for a tool for generating a certificate signing request for a digital certificate, (2) creating, in response to the request, a customer-specific version of the tool that is unique to the customer by injecting information into the customer-specific version of the tool that (a) uniquely identifies the customer and (b) identifies a desired encryption algorithm for the digital certificate and/or a desired certificate authority for the digital certificate, (3) configuring the customer-specific version of the tool to generate the certificate signing request using the injected information, and (4) providing the customer-specific version of the tool to the customer to enable the customer to generate, using the customer-specific version of the tool, the certificate signing request without having to manually provide the injected information.

1. A computer-implemented method for creating customer-specific tools for generating certificate signing requests, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
identifying a request from a customer for a tool for generating a certificate signing request for a digital certificate; creating, in response to the request, a customer-specific version of the tool that is unique to the customer by injecting information that is necessary to generate the certificate signing request into an executable file of the customer-specific version of the tool, wherein the information:
uniquely identifies the customer; andidentifies at least one of a desired encryption algorithm for the digital certificate and a desired certificate authority for the digital certificate; configuring the customer-specific version of the tool to generate the certificate signing request using the injected information; and providing, to the customer, the customer-specific version of the tool that already contains the injected information necessary to generate the certificate signing request to enable the customer to generate, using the customer-specific version of the tool, the certificate signing request without having to manually provide the injected information.
