When I got certs from Thawte (now owned by verisign) they had extensive 
instructions on their web site for generating a CSR.  This wasn't a big 
deal. You run the openssl program to create a new CSR for your company and 
it asks you to enter all the information.  Thawte's web site has step by 
step instructions for generating a correct CSR using apache + mod_ssl (as 
well as a large number of other server configurations).
