Description	Generates and downloads a CSR file to the client’s local file system. The CSR can be used for creating a custom SSL certificate that can be used for SSL transactions on iDRAC.

Input	-g — Generates a new CSR. -s — Returns the status of a CSR generation process (generation in progress, active, or none). -f — Specifies the filename of the location, < filename>, where the CSR is downloaded. NOTE: If the -f option is not specified, the filename defaults to sslcsr in your current directory.
