在 Synology NAS 產生 CSR

Pre-requisites for Synology NAS server users

  1. First of all to get a trusted certificate you need to own a domain name which can be assigned to your Synology DDNS service since the SSL certificates offered on our web-site can only be issued for FQDN (fully qualified domain name), (the DDNS service is offered for free for Synology users on https://myds.synology.com);
  2. Setup your DDNS service before you go to the next step;
  3. Then a CNAME DNS forward from the domain or subdomain (yourdomain.com) to the DDNS service (such as name.synology.me) should be added.

    4. Here is a quick guide below:

    Log in to your cPanel and find the 'Domains' box and then click on Advanced DNS Zone Editor.

    Under 'Add a Record' fill in each box with your own information. There should be a domain name in the field and the Synology NAS hostname in the field. Then click on 'Add Record'.

Once the CSR code is generated you can start the SSL activation process in ZTABOX.
After the SSL activation and validation processes are completed you will receive an email with certificate files from the Certificate Authority and will be able to Install the certificate on your Synology NAS.
