Problem:
When I try to submit a CSR to Entrust Datacard Cloud Services, I get the following error:
You submitted an improperly formatted CSR.
Cause:
This error will occur when the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is improperly formatted (i.e., spaces or carriage returns breaking the encoded data).
Solution:
The user should submit a properly formatted Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
Your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) should look similar to the following, including the FIVE DASHES that appear before and after
-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
and
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
:
