SSL Certificate Installation in HSphere

Installing the Primary SSL Certificate file (your_domain_name.crt)

1) Download your Primary and Intermediate Certificate files from your DigiCert Web-PKI Customer Account to the directory where you saved your certificate and key files.

2) On the control panel home page, click on SSL. Enter the Web Service area and click on the Edit button under SSL.

3) An upload form will open; in the box labeled 'Install Certificate based on previously...', paste the contents of your Primary Certificate File (your_domain.crt). The certificate can be opened with a text editor like Notepad. Include the BEGIN and END tags (see example below) -- Upload it.

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
text ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

**NOTE: YOU MUST ALSO COMPLETE STEP 4 BEFORE BROWSERS CAN PROPERLY AUTHENTICATE THE CERTIFICATE

Installing the Intermediate SSL Certificate file (DigiCertCA.crt)

4) In a similar manner, paste the contents of the Intermediate Certificate File (DigiCertCA.crt) to the 'Certificate Chain File' box. Some versions of HSphere label this box 'Certificate Authority File'. Click on Install.

5) Your certificate is now properly installed. Make sure to keep backup copies of all your key and certificate files in a secure place. This way you will be able to restore your SSL Certificate if the server crashes.
