For Apache v1.X
- Download the appropriate Intermediate Certificate(s) and save it in a text editor as intermediate.pem:
- DomainSSL / OrganizationSSL / ExtendedSSL: SSL Certificate Bundle
- Copy your SSL Certificate out of the order fulfilment e-mail (or log into your GlobalSign Certificate Center account and download it) and paste it into a text editor and save as mydomain.pem.
- Copy “mydomain.crt” and “intermediate.pem” to the directory in which you plan to store your certificates.
- Open your httpd.conf file (some installations keep the SSL section separately in the ssl.conf file) using a text editor, and locate the virtual host section for the site for which the SSL Certificate will secure.
Your virtual host section will need to contain the following directives:
SSLCertificateChainFile
– This will need to point to the appropriate Intermediate root CA certificates.SSLCertificateFile
– This will need to point to the end entity certificate (the one you have called “mydomain.crt”)SSLCertificateKeyFile
– This will need to point to the private key file associated with your certificate.- Save the changes to the file and quit the text editor
- Restart apache.
For Apache 2.X
