How to install an SSL Certificate on Sentora?

This article offers quick instructions on how to generate a CSR code and install an SSL certificate on Sentora web hosting control panel. Split into four sections, this guide begins with CSR generation and SSL installation guidelines, and finishes off with a brief Sentora history, as well as useful SSL buying tips.

Note: This tutorial works with Ubuntu version 12.04 LTS or higher.

If you’ve already applied for your SSL Certificate and received it from your CA, feel free to skip part one and jump straight to the configuration steps.

To create your CSR (Certificate Signing Request) code on Sentora, perform the following:

Note: Don’t forget to replace yourdomain with your real domain name. For example, if your domain name is yoursite.com, you must type yoursite.key and yoursite.csr.

5. You’ll be prompted to provide your contact details. Please use the examples below:

6. The OpenSSL utility will generate your CSR and private key files. You can run the ls command to locate them in your working directory

7. Open the CSR file with any text editor of your choice such as Notepad, and copy its contents including the — BEGIN CERTIFICATE — and — END CERTIFICATE — tags into the corresponding box during the SSL order process.

8. Wait for the SSL Certificate to arrive in your inbox.

After your CA sends the necessary files to your inbox, download the ZIP folder and extract its contents on your device.

You should receive three files from your CA:

Note: Some CAs will send you the CA Bundle file containing both root and intermediate certificates. In this case, disregard the next step.

If you received the Root and Intermediate certificates in separate files, you need to merge them in a single plain text document.

Open a text editor of your choice such as Notepad and copy-paste the code from your Root certificate file, followed by the code from your Intermediate certificate. Make sure you don’t leave any blanks spaces.

Note: You must replace the names above with your actual certificate and domain names.

6. Restart Apache: sudo service apache2 restart
