Install SSL Certificate

OVERVIEW: This page covers everything you need to know to get started with your SSL Certificate installation. At the completion of this procedure, your Certificate will be ready to secure your website. You can obtain your Certificate through the email sent to you or through your GlobalSign Certificate Center (GCC) account. To order a new SSL certificate, please refer to this page. Learn more about GlobalSign's SSL Certificates here

Prerequisites

  1. You have successfully ordered and received your new SSL Certificate using a newly generated Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

    IMPORTANT: If you are installing an SSL due to the ICA revocations, please ensure you have reissued your certificate before installing it. For more information, please refer to this page

  2. Your SSL Certificate order has completed our vetting process

  3. You have a copy of the correct Intermediate Certificates ready to install. The Intermediate Certificates are necessary for browsers to trust the SSL Certificate you are going to install. This creates a certificate chain: your SSL Certificate → Intermediate Certificate → GlobalSign Root Certificate.

    IMPORTANT: For browsers to recognize and validate this trust chain, the intermediate certificate must be included. However, some servers (such as Microsoft), the Intermediate Certificates are already included with the SSL Certificate.

 

To get started, here are direct links to the installation instructions for some of the most common server types:

IMPORTANT: Once you have installed your Certificate, please use GlobalSign's SSL Configuration Checker to verify that it has been installed correctly. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch for assistance.
