SSL Certificate Installation Instructions

Plesk 7

Firstly when your issuance email arrives it will contain your web server certificate. Copy your web server certificate into a text editor such as notepad including the header and footer. You should then have a text file that looks like:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[encoded data]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Make sure you have 5 dashes to either side of the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and that no white space, extra line breaks or additional characters have been inadvertently added.

1. Save the certificate file just created as yourdomain.txt.
2. Click on the Domain link to view all domains. Click on the relevant Domain Name.
3. In the Services section, click the Certificates icon
4. In the section labeled Find the appropriate private key to the certificate click Browse to locate your yourdomain.txt file
5. Click Send File to upload your certificate. Plesk will restart automatically and will now have installed your certificate
