To begin, you will need the Certificate and Key.
Accessing the SSL Manager
The steps for accessing the SSL Manager may vary depending on which user interface your account uses. Once logged in:
Legacy Accounts
- From Hosting, open the cPanel.
- Click on the SSL/TLS Manager option in the Security section.
Rock Accounts
- Choose the Advanced tab from the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click SSL/TLS from the Security section.
This will load the SSL Manager, where you can find your Private Key and Certificate.
Finding the Key
- Click Generate, view, upload, or delete your private keys.
- Open the certificate you would like to upload and click Edit or Edit & View option.
- Copy the entire Encoded Private Key, and save it as domain.key in notepad.
Finding the Certificate
Tip: Once the key has been copied and saved, you can scroll down to the bottom of the 'key' page from the previous step (Finding the Key, Step 3) to view the certificate this key is being used by. Click on the certificate link here to proceed to Finding the Certificate, Step 3, or return to the SSL Manager to continue below:
- Click on the Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates option.
- Locate the certificate by URL, open it, and click Edit or Edit & View.
- Copy the entire Encoded Certificate into a new notepad, but do not save yet. We will be adding the CA bundle to the end of this file.
Adding the CA Bundle
Once the certificate has been pasted into the notepad doc, we will need to add the CA Bundle. The CA Bundle can be located at the SSL provider's repository. Some common bundles are listed below.
