Install an SSL Certificate - Overview

Introduction

This article will provide you an overview on how to install an SSL Certificate and its prerequisites.

Prerequisites

• You have successfully received a new SSL Certificate using a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) which you are ready to install.
  • If you are installing an SSL due to the ICA revocations, please ensure you have reissued your certificate before installing it. More info can be found here: https://support.globalsign.com/ssl/general-ssl/ica-revocations-and-remediation-steps.
• You have a copy of the correct Intermediate Certificate ready to install (refer to Intermediate Certificates). The Intermediate Certificates are necessary for browsers to trust the SSL Certificate you are going to install. It is important to note that for some servers (such as Microsoft) the Intermediate Certificates are already included with the SSL Certificate.

Note: You can obtain your Certificate at any time by checking the email sent to you, including your Certificate or through your GlobalSign Certificate Center (GCC) account.
