Important:
Installation is a multi step process - ensure you follow
all steps listed below.
Upload your SSL certificate
From
inside PSA
Choose the
domain in which you are installing the SSL certificate.
Access the domain's SSL section by clicking on the 'certificate' button.
When a CSR (certificate signing
request) is generated there are two different text sections,
the RSA Private Key (which was emailed to you by Plesk) and
the Certificate Request. When installing a certificate, the RSA Private Key
text needs to be pasted into the block preceding the web server site certificate.
Example:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[[ENCODED BLOCK OF TEXT]]
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[[ENCODED BLOCK OF TEXT]]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Paste the Private Key with the Certificate text into the Enter Certificate
Text: text box and press the Send Text button.
If successful a message is
returned 'Certificate Successfully Installed'. Your now finished
installing your domain certificate and can proceed to step
3.
If there are any errors the old certificate will replace the new certificate
that you have just sent to the server and you will be required to enter it
again.
If this occurs just click "Up Level" to return to the Domain Administration
page and start the install again.
Uploading the Rootchain
Certificate
To ensure your certificate
is trusted by all browsers you need to install a rootchain
certificate for the domain which you should have downloaded
from above.
From inside PSA, choose
the domain in which you are installing the SSL certificate.
Access the domain's SSL section by clicking on the 'certificate' button.
The icon next to Use rootchain certificate for this domain appears on this
page .
If the icon is [ ON ] then the rootchain certificate will be enabled for
this domain. If the icon is [X] then it is disabled.
Ensure the icon is [X] before continuing (you may need to click the ON/OFF
button if the icon is set to [ON]):
Click the browse button
and locate the CAIntermediate1y or 3y.crt file you have saved
from above.
Then click the Send File button. This will upload your Intermediate certificate
to the server.
Click the icon again to set it to the [ ON ] state.
Now click Up Level to return to the Domain Administration
page.
Using your SSL Certificate to
secure logging into your Plesk Administrator
If you are applying your certificate to the Plesk control panel (in order to
secure your login) you will need to login to Plesk Administrator and select Server
.
Select Certificate and complete the above instructions as per applying your SSL
certificate to a domain. |
| Save your virtual
host file and restart Apache. |
| An alternative to the above installation procedure is to
install the certificates through a command line in apache. |
