Uploading the certificate onto the domain

After you receive the SSL Certificate, load the certificate onto your domain.

To load the certificate:

1. Generate the SSL certificate request and send the request to the Certificate Authority.
   The Certificate Authority emails you the SSL certificate.

2. Open the email from the Certificate Authority, and copy the contents onto your local system into a text authoring utility, such as Notepad.

3. Once you have copied the contents into a text authoring utility, leave the utility open on your desktop.

4. Start the server and log on as the Server Administrator. 

5. In the shortcuts section of the Home page, click Import SSL Certificate (Web Server/Databases section). The Save SSL Certificate window opens.

6. Copy the server certificate information from the text authoring utility and paste it into the Server Certificate text box. 

7. Copy the intermediate certificate information from the text editor program, then paste it into the Intermediate Certificate text box. This is an optional field, and can be left blank if the text authoring utility does not provide you the certificate.

8. Click Import.

9. To make security effective on your domain, restart the Web server. The domain is not secure until you do so.
