Hi Olga, I figured that there might be such a workaround however I'm not trying to create a self signed certificate. I'm trying to prepare a certificate request to send to godaddy.com. Is there a way of doing this and then importing the signed certificate?

Unfortunately, it's currently impossible to generate such key using VisualSVN Server's UI. We're going to solve the problem in one of the next versions of the VisualSVN Server. But you can try the following workaround: 1. Create new private key: openssl.exe genrsa 2048 > private.key 2. Check that private key has appropriate length. Following command should print "Private-Key: (2048 bit)" at the first line: openssl.exe rsa -noout -text -in private.key 3. Open certs\server.pem and replace lines between "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" and "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" by private.key content. 4. Recreate self-signed certificate using VisualSVN Server Manager. 5. Check that new self-signed certificate has appropriate key length. Following command should print "RSA Public Key: (2048 bit)" among other data: openssl.exe x509 -noout -text -in server.pem 6. Create certificate request using VisualSVN Server Manager and save it in the server.req file. 7. Check that the request has appropriate key length. Following command should print "RSA Public Key: (2048 bit)" among other data: openssl.exe req -noout -text -in server.req Hope this helps! -- Regards, Olga Dolidze VisualSVN Support
