SSL Certificate Installation Instructions
How to install your SSL Digital Certificate
SSL Certificates will be available for download when validation and processing are complete. (The SSL certificate itself is a text file; it is encrypted data that your web server will be able to understand when installed as a digital certificate.)
Before you begin the installation, make a back-up of your certificate that you can keep in a safe place. This makes re-securing your server much easier if your server crashes.
In addition to your SSL Certificate will be two more certificates to download. These are known as intermediate certificates, and are required so that browsers can know to trust your SSL certificate. Registered Authorities like DigiCert must provide a known root certificate before their SSL certificate will be trusted by SSL-enabled applications.
Installation is straightforward, but varies for different web server applications. Specific tutorials for the most common web servers are available on your left.
