You didn't really give many details in your question, but the process is basically:

1. Fill in the initial application registration information

2. Create a CSR (certificate signing request) on your server using these commands:

   openssl genrsa -out host.key 1024

   openssl req -new -nodes -key host.key -out host.csr

3. Save the signed certificate Intuit sends back to you for use in your outgoing requests.
