That's not a certificate, that's a certificate request. You send it to
a company that sells certificates (along with your credit card number
:-) ) and receive the certificate.
Or you can generate a self-signed certificate by following the steps
in http://openssl.linux-mirror.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt .
