The steps for getting a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority are these:
- From Setup, click Security Controls | Certificate and Key Management, click the name of the certificate, then click Download Certificate Signing Request.
- Send the certificate request to the certificate authority of your choice.
- After the certificate authority sends back the signed certificate, from Setup, click Security Controls | Certificate and Key Management, click the name of the certificate, then click Upload Signed Certificate.
- Click Browse to locate the CA-signed certificate. The CA-signed certificate must match the certificate created in Salesforce. If you try to upload a different CA-signed certificate, the upload fails.
- Click Save to finish the upload process. Click Cancel at any time to not upload the certificate.
Found in this Salesforce help document: Uploading Certificate Authority (CA)-Signed Certificates
Essentially, you take the CSR file you've downloaded from Salesforce and have it signed by the company of your choosing and then return to Salesforce and upload the certificate generated by your provider.
Your certificate provider's website will have instructions on how to create a certificate.
