SSL Certificate Installation in SurgeMail

If you have not yet created a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and ordered your certificate, see
SSL Certificate CSR Creation | SurgeMail Mail Server.

Installing your SurgeMail SSL Certificate

1. Login to your DigiCert Account to Download both the Primary, and Intermediate Certificate files from your DigiCert account.

2. In the Web Admin where your CSR was created, simply copy and paste the contents of the certificate files to the 'SSL Certificate(s)' field. The Primary Certificate (your_domain_name.crt) must be first, and the Intermediate Certificate (DigiCertCA.crt) second, with no line of space between the two.

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- (Your Primary certificate: your_domain_name.crt) -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- (Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt) -----END CERTIFICATE-----

   
   To copy the SSL Certificates, the certificates can be best opened in text format with a text editor that retains the block format of the file such as WordPad.

3. Press Save and restart SurgeMail to begin using the new Certificate.
