I'm not sure what I put for
Distinguished Name
or
Hostname

Enter all the hostnames the server will be reachable under from the Internet.
The distinguished name (DN) provides details about the certificate subject, such as name and company details. It's a comma-separated list of relative distinguished names (RDN). You can leave if empty.

Creating a certificate in the old version is step-by-step and includes various options. Is there a complete example or step-by-step guide for the new version?

1.2/1.3 still no example steps and options to create a self-signed certificate. Don't know the details of the certificate in use.

My post was in response to the previous one. Regarding your enhancement requests, @botg's answer is still valid.

Just installed 1.3 and it seems to be working well. Nice upgrade from 0.9.
I have a TLS cert question. I can create a self-signed cert, but only with a 2nd level domain name; i.e., thisdomain.com.
Our development server doesn't have a domain name, just a Windows Server 2019 computer name; i.e., DEVELOPMENT-2019.
Is there a way to put the computer name in the Certificate Data Hostnames field?
Thanks.

Next release will remove the need for a 2nd level domain name in self-signed certificates.
For now, as a workaround don't use a domain name at all for the self-signed certificate, and if you still want the certificate to contain the computer name, you can put that into the distinguished name field, with a line like the following:

Convenient this thread is active. I was trying to generate a self-signed cert, but putting in the name that the server is reachable from on the internet (e.g. google.com), with the sub domain included (ftp.google.com), or even just the public IP address (X.X.X.X) results in failing to generate the ticket. Filezilla server version 1.2
After I wrote this I found that the solution was to leave the distinguished name blank for anyone who comes around looking for an answer. Good Luck!

What were you inserting in the Distinguished Name? You don't need to leave it blank, but it must contain correct data.

Syntactically correct at least. You can claim to be the reptile space pope and the server will gladly accept it

Where is the certificate?
Unable to view certificate details, such as encryption protocol.
No example.
x509 Certificate Fields: Email Address (E) error.
