Allow higher bit CSR for setting up CA certificates XS748T

[ctmoore]

(I actually have the 48 port model but that wasn't in the drop down list.)

I ran into a problem when trying to get a legitimate (as opposed to self-signed) CA certificate. The CSR that this switch generates is 1024 bit and my CA issuer requires 2048 bits minimum. I would like to request a larger range available for CSR generation so that I can get a good CA certificate for the switch.  This could be easily done with a drop down giving the user a choice between 1024, 2048, 4096 etc bits to use in the private key and CSR thusly generated. 

I have witnessed other infrastructure become slowly more difficult to access because modern browsers are demanding more stringent standards for the certificates they recognize; I have some PDU's that I literally have to run 2006-era Firefox browsers to get into these days. I don't want to have to deal with this in the future with the switches.  If these switches are to be primarily accessed via a web browser without some kind of ssh option, direct console access, or other secure alternative, this seems like an important issue.  Browsers are increasingly rejecting self-signed certificates as well.

Here's a link to my original question about this issue:

Thank you for your consideration to this idea/request.
