You certainly either generated a keypair or already had one, because it is impossible to create a CSR without the privatekey. Note that openssl 'req' can either create a CSR for an existing keypair, or generate a new keypair AND a CSR for it together. (It can also create a selfsigned cert and not a CSR at all.) If you did the keypair-and-CSR-together option, you might have paid attention only to the CSR part and not the keypair part. > I thought all I would have to do is import it to IE.
