Here I am going to introduce how to use Wildcard certificates chain for Yeastar S-Series VoIP PBX.
You can refer to this guide for other certificate providers.

Step 2: Then you will get certificates file as below. For example, it contains 3 Trusted Certificates:
- COMODORSADomanValidationSecureServerCA.crt
- COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt
- AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
These are root certificate, intermediate certificate or cross-signed certificate files.
1 Certificate file with client certificate:
- STAR_northrich_nl.crt
1 private key which could be included in the certificate file.
Below is the chain relationship between the 4 certificates.
Step 4: Create a file with the extension “pem”.
1. Open the certificate and key files by editor (such as Notepad ++), then copy the certificate texts and private key text to the *.pem file. How to confirm which text is certificate or private key?
Certificate text is written like:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...... Server
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...... Intermediate
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
......Key
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
For example:
2. Then upload the certificate file to Yeastar S-Series VoIP PBX. The menu path is: Settings> System> Security> Certificate (PBX Certificate).
Step 5: Select the Server Certificate. The menu path is: Settings> System> Security> Service-> Certificate. Click to "Save" and later reboot your system to let it take effect.
