Hello Rjo-

You don't need a private key to generate a CSR. The private key is actually create during the CSR generation process. The CA provider only needs the CSR to provide you with a signed certificate. Once you obtain the signed certificate you will "bind" it with your CSR in ACS. 

I hope this helps!
