If you are trying to generate a CSR, you probably need to use OpenSSL,
not Zope. If your *Zope application* needs to generate a CSR for some
reason, you need to interface OpenSSL from Zope somehow - either using
command line interface (works great if you do it carefully) or using
M2Crypto or another wrapper (more hassle than benefit, if you are not
doing something really complex). Well, there is PyCrypto that I haven't
looked into, maybe the bright future is here already :-).

With this ancient version of Zope you actually may have some luck
setting up a secure server without Apache or another reverse, using
hacks provided in the earlier versions of M2Crypto. Be careful: it leaks
memory when not in a good mood. But really, consider putting Apache in
the front.
