LPIC-2 Exam 202 (Linux Engineer) — Question 84

Which of the following information has to be submitted to a certification authority in order to request a web server certificate?

Answer options

• A. The web server's private key.
• B. The IP address of the web server.
• C. The list of ciphers supported by the web server.
• D. The web server's SSL configuration file.
• E. The certificate signing request.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, the certificate signing request, as it contains the public key and identifying information that the certification authority needs to issue a certificate. The other options are not required for this process; for example, the private key must be kept secret and the SSL configuration file does not contain necessary information for the certificate request.
