To enable SSL sessions on your website you have to install on your server 3 types of certificates: SSL certificate issued for domain (website), intermediate CA certificate and Root CA cert. The certificates should be pasted in this sequence, with lines -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- to text editor. The right sequence should be:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(site certificate)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(intermediate SSL)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(root CA)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Then follow the steps:
- Login to the web server.
- In the left menu select SSL certificates.
- Certificate Sets will display. Select Generate CSR (or Replace Certificate) next to domain which you want to encrypt.
- Copy and paste the text from the text editor into the Signed Certificate box and click OK.
- The certificate set now needs assigning to the web site. Click on the Home icon. Put a tick in the box next to the virtual server to configure and select configure.
- Enable SSL and select the certificate set to use.
- Apply and commit the changes then restart the web server.
