What files the client needs to prepare?

If you first time to request the SSL cert, please check this section first: Request New SSL Cert

1. Prepare Require Files

There are 3 type of files

  • Private key
  • Domain Valid cert
  • Trust cert 

1) Private key file

The private key was generated when you apply the CSR file.

See the GoDaddy's guide to apply the CSR: https://in.godaddy.com/help/request-my-ssl-certificate-with-a-certificate-signing-request-csr-40441 

Client should open the key file by notepad to exam the file format. The format should have start line and end line like the following:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
...
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

 

2) Domain valid certs and Trust certs files.

See the GoDaddy's guide to download the cert file package: https://in.godaddy.com/help/download-my-ssl-certificate-files-4754 

 

See the blow example package:

It includes a PEM format SSL cert file and Trust certs bundle file. (If it is not bundle file, individual Trust cert files are also good.)

  • XXX.crt and XXX.pem is the domain valid cert file
  • gd_bundle-XXX.crt is the trust cert file.

Client should open the each file by note pad to exam the file format. The format should have start line and end line like the following:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
...
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

2. Check Cert File and Key File Validity
