SSL

SSL icon The SSL Manager enables you to manage all areas of SSL certificates, from generating new certificates to installing and changing them. You can generate an SSL certificate, consisting of an RSA private key and certificate, for any domain using Dedicated Server Manager. An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a public key which is verified by a trusted organization. This will allow viewers of an SSL site to verify the identity of the web site by its public key.

The first step to installing a SSL is to generate a CSR (certificate request).

To generate a CSR:

  1. Click on the SSL link in the navigation area.

  2. Click on the [Generate CSR] link.

  3. Enter the domain that you want a certificate for in the Hostname field.

  4. Enter the contact email address in the Email field.

  5. Enter the password for this certificate in the Password field.

  6. Enter address and company information in the remaining fields.

  7. Click on the required host from the Virtual Host drop-down list.

  8. Click on the Generate CSR button.
