In this article, we are going to talk about a few ways how to install your bought certificates to the IceWarp server.
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser.
Companies and organizations need to add SSL certificates to their websites to secure online transactions and keep customer information private and secure.
In short: SSL keeps internet connections secure and prevents criminals from reading or modifying information transferred between two systems. When you see a padlock icon next to the URL in the address bar, that means SSL protects the website you are visiting.
You can get those certificates from DigiCert, ssl.com, zeroSSL, and many more. Once you buy it you will be provided with 3 parts:
1. Certificate
2. Private key
3. Certificate Authority
You have to create a .txt file with all of those three parts in the order mentioned previously.
The next type of certificate is, for example, an Exchange certificate which is in a .pfx file, which we do not support. You would need to transform the .pfx file to a .pem file. You can do so with this command:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -in certfile.pem -inkey keyfile.pem
If you experience any issues with converting this file you can always contact our support.
