This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit ZL1S-I-426 Certificate Management enhancement - Key Size and allow P12 Repository import.

Possibility to create CSR files with key length of 4096 bits

When creating a new CSR file on an IBM Z HMC there is no option to select the key size. The generated certificate request has a fixed key size of 2048. In several countries especially for Germany it is a recommendations of the local authorities that a key length of 4096 should be used.  The idea is to add the ability during creation of the CSR file to specify the key size / length including a the key size of 4096 bits.
