Hi again, sorry for being a pain.

 

I want to really understand certificates, pki, etc; so forgive me if
these questions are elementary.

 

Please clarify:

 

Before creating a certificate, I need to generate the CSR on the actual
server where I am going to install the certificate?

(reason why I'm asking is because a wildcard csr was sent to me and I
don't know if I should use the wildcard csr or the one generated on the
server).

 

Once the CSR is created, a CA will use the CSR to create the
certificate?

A CA was sent to me, it's the company's CA (wildcard); if the above
answer is yes, do I use the CA, the private key, and CSR to create the
certificate?

 

A CSR will only work with the private key it was generated with?

 

Thanks in advance, 

Rod
