You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

RE: Ubuntu: How To Create a SSL Certificate
Add at least this to your SSL configuration to disable known broken things:

SSLProtocol -All +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:AES256-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH:!AESGCM;
SSLHonorCipherOrder on
