Extended Validation SSL Certificates, also known as EV Certificates, provide the strictest validation requirements to prove to your customers that your site is not fraudulent, and that it's safe to proceed on your website.
Note: Installing the certificate requires you to be able to make changes to Apache's configuration files, and restart the Apache server process. Please ensure you can do this before you continue.
You should have received your certificate from us, a file typically named your_domain_com.crt as well as the CA bundle file containing the intermediate certificates, typically named either dv_chain.txt, ov_chain.txt or ev_chain.txt and downloadable from your SSL control panel.
Follow these instructions to install your certificate:
- SSLEngine on
- SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/ssl.key/server.key
- SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/ssl.crt/yourDomainName.crt
- SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/ssl.crt/ Apache_Plesk_Install.txt
- SSLEngine on
- SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/ssl.key/server.key
- SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/ssl.crt/yourDomainName.crt
- SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/ssl.crt/ Apache_Plesk_Install.txt
6. Save changes to your file. Now, you will need to restart Apache. It is sometimes required to stop then start Apache, instead of issuing the 'restart' command for the changes to take effect.
You have now installed your EV SSL Certificate!
