Regarding the UI for XX-6905, it sounds like "Server Name" on the
"Generate CSR" screen should actually be a drop-down containing the
system Domain Names, as well as all Domain Aliases?  You then choose
which one you want to generate the CSR for.

And let me guess, the private key is sometimes delivered as a file, and
sometimes as text?

It will be a challenge to construct a simple single screen which allows
the private key to be optional, but both to be uploaded as either file
or text.

Looking at the code, I think we are not running check-cert.sh on
Certificates, but only on Certificate Authorities.


Thanks for the clarification.
