    Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA)
  3. To upload your certificate file choose the following files:

    Upload Trusted Certificate: Browse to the file your_dominio_com.crt that you received.
    Private Key: Browse to the file private_key.txt.
    Certificate Chain Bundle: Browse to the file XYZ.crt.

    You will then need to change the Certificate Type back to Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA).

    Then click Upload Certificate Information.

    Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA)

    Next you should see two green bars at the top that should display the text shown below:

    Configuration updated

    Trusted (Signed by a trusted CA)

Troubleshooting

  1. If your certificate did not upload correctly on step 3 above, then you will need to do the following: Log into your account, and click your order number, then click Download Certificate and click to download the following files:

    Primary Certificate (your_dominio_name.crt), Intermediate Certificate (XYZ.crt), Root Certificate (AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt)
  2. You will need to create a combined PEM file by opeing up a text editor (e.g. Wordpad) and pasting the contents of all of the files listed below as follows:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    (Primary SSL Certificate: your_dominio_com.crt)
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    (Intermediate Certificate: XYZ1.crt)
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    (Intermediate Certificate: XYZ2.crt)
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    (Trusted Root Certificate: AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt)
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----

    This file should then be saved as your_domain_com.pem.
  3. Now upload the following files, and click Upload Certificate Information:

    Upload Trusted Certificate: Browse to the file your_domain_com.pem that you just created.
    Private Key: Browse to the file private_key.txt.
    Certificate Chain Bundle: Leave this blank.
