This Knowledgebase article displays the steps to install a certificate onto SecureTransport 4.9.
Part I - Installing Root and Intermediate Certificates
Installing the Root and Intermediate certificates is important to obtain
trust in all browsers. This step should only be performed if this if
your first time installing a QuoVadis certificate onto this server. If
this is a renewal request, then you may already have these certificates
installed. You will have to view the list of certificates in the
Trusted CAs tab to verify this. Please note that this article assumes
you have access to the Trust/Link certificate download page.
- Open up the Certificate Management page by going to Setup and then Certificates.
- Select the Trusted CAs tab.
- Click on the Import button.
- In the Alias field, type in the name of the
QuoVadis root certificate. This can be seen in bold in the Root CA
certificate section on the Trust/Link downloads page.
- Copy the contents of the Root CA certificate field in the Trust/Link downloads page. Back in the Certificate Management page, click on Paste certificate in space below and paste in the contents you copied.
- Click on the Import button. This will import the QuoVadis root certificate.

- In the Alias field, type in the name of the
QuoVadis intermediate certificate. This can be seen in bold in

Part II - Install Certificate Response File
After you have obtained the certificate from QuoVadis that corresponds
with the CSR that you submitted, you will be ready to install it.

with this, you can paste in the PEM encoded data into the field. This

editor.
