| Installing your Web Server Certificate |
Your certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the
Web Server Certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message.
Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a text editor,
such as notepad to create text files.
- From inside PSA, choose the domain in which you are installing the SSL certificate.
- Access the domain's SSL section by clicking on the
Certificate button. If the Certificate button is grayed-out, this means the domain is set up for name-based hosting. If you want a domain to utilize all of the SSL capabilities available, that domain must be configured for IP-based
hosting.
- When a Certificate Signing Request is generated there are two different text sections, the RSA Private Key and the Certificate Request. When installing a certificate, the RSA Private Key text needs to be pasted into the block preceding the web server certificate issued by
SupraLink.
Example:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[[ECRYPTED BLOCK OF TEXT]]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[[ECRYPTED BLOCK OF TEXT]]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
- Paste the Private Key with the Certificate text into the
Enter Certificate Text: text box and press the Send Text button. There should be a prompt that reads
Certificate Successfully Installed.
Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive,
such as https://your.server.com/ to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.
Please note that the padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
