Installing an existing SSL certificate in ISPmanager.

Log in to your ISPmanager Control Panel "SSL certificates" part to install an existing SSL certificate.

Click "Add Certificate" in the top right corner.

Select the type of SSL certificate "Existing" and click "Next".

Next, you need to fill out a certificate form. All lines are required.
- Specify a unique name for the certificate to be added in the "SSL Certificate Name" line.

Filling in the lines: "SSL certificate", "SSL certificate key", "SSL certificate chain" will require files (or archive) received after activating the purchased SSL certificate.
For example, let's take the COMODO SSL certificate (certificates from other registrars may have a different file layout and file name).
The COMODO certificate has the following files:

  • exampledomain_com.crt (the generated SSL certificate matches the domain name).
  • ca_1.crt
  • ca_2.crt

Filling in the "SSL certificate" line requires the use of any text editor (eg, Notepad). You need to open the file "exampledomain_com.crt" and copy all its contents.

Paste the copied info the "SSL certificate" line.

You need to insert the key code obtained by creating a CSR request in the "SSL certificate key" line. You need to copy the entire key code, starting from the line:

«-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----»
to
«-----END PRIVATE KEY-----»
inclusive.

Filling in the line "SSL certificate chain" requires the certificate files "ca_1.crt" and "ca_2.crt". First you need to copy the contents of the "ca_1.crt" file, and then paste its contents into the "Chain of SSL certificates" line. Next, copy the contents of the file "ca_2.crt" and also paste its contents into the line below the code added earlier.

Click "Finish".

The certificate has been added to the Control Panel.

The last step is to assign the added SSL certificate to the domain. Go to the "WWW Domains" part for this.

Select the domain you need and click "Edit".

Check the box "Secure connection (SSL)".

In the "SSL Certificate" dropdown menu, select the certificate you added "exampledomain_com (exampledomain.com)".

Click "OK".

SSL certificate installed.
