Adding your own SSL Certificate

Posted:  May 14th, 2018

 

SSL stands for "Secure Socket Layer". When you are using https:// to access your site, the data is transferred in an encrypted format . This can be useful for highly sensitive data transfers like credit card numbers, passwords etc.

 

To add your SSL certificate, follow these simple steps:

 

1) Connect to your server using SFTP.

 

2) Go to /var/www/ssl directory

 

3) Create a directory with the same name as the site’s domain name

 

4) Upload the certificate, the key and bundle in that directory.

 

5) Rename the files with this naming convention:

          web.key

          web.crt

          bundle.crt

 

6) Open a technical ticket to activate the SSL certificate.
