# Certificate Signing Request (CSR) File Types

These file types conform to the [<mark style="color:red;">**Common File Structure**</mark>](https://developer.magtek.com/api-and-command-reference/dynafamily-programmers-manual/data-types-and-shared-tlv-data-objects/common-file-structure) format.

The File Payload of these files contain a certificate signing request in PEM format. To generate a CSR see [<mark style="color:red;">**0xEF03 - Generate CSR (WLAN Only)**</mark>](https://developer.magtek.com/api-and-command-reference/dynafamily-programmers-manual/commands/0xennn-security/0xef03-generate-csr-wlan-only).

The device will erase the CSR file from volatile memory after the host fetches it with [<mark style="color:red;">**0xD821 - Start Get File from Device**</mark>](https://developer.magtek.com/api-and-command-reference/dynafamily-programmers-manual/commands/0xd8nn-file-operations/0xd821-start-get-file-from-device). After fetching the CSR, the keys used to generate the CSR will still exist in non-volatile memory associated with a CSR and can be used to generate a new CSR if needed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developer.magtek.com/api-and-command-reference/dynafamily-programmers-manual/data-types-and-shared-tlv-data-objects/certificate-signing-request-csr-file-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
