Installing your Web Server Certificate

Your certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the web server certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message. Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a text editor (such as notepad) to create text files. Name this file “Server.txt”.

Installing the Root and Intermediate Certificates

Create a text file. The file should be the Root Certificate. Name this file “rootca.txt”.

Note: Be sure to include the —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– line and the ——END CERTIFICATE—– line.
Note: If you start the ‘mkkf’ utility from the directory that contains your certificates you will not need to include the path.
