How do I generate a csr that uses the SHA-2 algorithm?

My LTMs are 11.4.1 HF2. The 2 options that I have are RSA and DSA. I created a test certificate using DSA, but that certificate and key was not available in the drop-down list, when attempting to cre...

Hi OTS02, I'm also looking into the same thing. We are running the latest version (11.6.0(HF1)) and see nothing for SHA-2 when creating a CSR. We have the same RSA and DSA options when creatingi it, but those are encryption algorithms; SHA is a Hashing algorithm. In 11.6.0 version, under Profiles, I see the "SSL Sign Hash" where you can select SHA1, SHA256, or SHA384. The trick for me is finding where SHA-2 can be selected, if any, when creating CSRs.
