FYI: "Invalid CSR" reported on Apple Developer Webpage

[andreas_kuhn]

When you try to create a new iOS Custom Client and want to add the Apple Push Notification service SSL you may get the error message "Invalid CSR" when uploading your csr file.

This happens only when the CSR file got created by IIS (Internet Information Services) on a Windows Server.

You have to create the CSR on a Mac.

Create a CSR file.

In the Applications folder on your Mac, open the Utilities folder and launch Keychain Access.

Within the Keychain Access drop down menu, select Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority.

• In the Certificate Information window, enter the following information:
  • In the User Email Address field, enter your email address.
  • In the Common Name field, create a name for your private key (e.g., John Doe Dev Key).
  • The CA Email Address field should be left empty.
  • In the "Request is" group, select the "Saved to disk" option.
• Click Continue within Keychain Access to complete the CSR generating process.
