I thought that it may be a good idea to post the process here for mine and anyone else\u2019s reference.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of this post is to guide you from getting from your p12 file to an installed certificate. This guide assumes that you have OpenSSL installed on your PC \/ Server.<\/p>\n<p>Get your GlobalSign PKCS12 certificate (probably globalsigncert.p12)<br \/>\nNavigate to the directory where the p12 file is on your PC\/Server<\/p>\n<p>Run the command<br \/>\n<code><br \/>\nopenssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in globalsigncert.p12 -out ssl.key<br \/>\n<\/code><br \/>\nYou will be prompted for the password that you set when you ordered the certificate. (Remember that GlobalSign append some extra characters to the password).<br \/>\nYou will be prompted to enter a PEM pass phrase. I usually just enter the same password as the p12 file.<br \/>\nYou will now have a file named ssl.key<\/p>\n<p>Run the command<br \/>\n<code><br \/>\nopenssl rsa -in ssl.key -out ssl.key<br \/>\n<\/code><br \/>\nYou will be prompted for the pass phrase for ssl.key. Enter the password you used when you were asked for a password in step 5<br \/>\nThe file named ssl.key will now be decoded so that it can be installed on a cPanel server<\/p>\n<p>Run the command<br \/>\n<code><br \/>\nopenssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in globalsigncert.p12 -out ssl.crt<br \/>\n<\/code><br \/>\nYou will now need to enter the password to your p12 file again<\/p>\n<p>You now have all of the files that you need to install the certificate on a cPanel server (ssl.key &#038; ssl.crt).<\/p>\n<p>At this point, we can either install the certificate via WHM, or in cPanel. I will outline both methods below.<\/p>\n<p>WHM SSL Install Instructions<\/p>\n<p>Login to WHM<br \/>\nGo to \u201cInstall a SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain\u201d on the left hand side<\/p>\n<p>Copy the contents of ssl.crt into the top box (The three boxes Domain, User and IP should be auto filled by cPanel)<\/p>\n<p>Copy the contents of ssl.key into the middle box<\/p>\n<p>Navigate to http:\/\/www.globalsign.com\/support\/intermediate-root-install.html<\/p>\n<p>Click on the appropriate link for the type of SSL certificate that you have<\/p>\n<p>Copy the Intermediate certificate into the third (bottom) box in WHM<br \/>\nFinally click Submit at the top<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, it should have installed properly and cPanel will give a message indicating this<\/p>\n<p>cPanel SSL Install Instructions<br \/>\nLogin to cPanel on the account that you would like to install the SSL certificate on<\/p>\n<p>Go to the \u201cSSL\/TLS Manager\u201d option<\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cActivate SSL on Your Web Site (HTTPS)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Select the domain you would like to install the SSL certificate on at the top<\/p>\n<p>Copy the contents of ssl.crt into the top box<\/p>\n<p>Copy the contents of ssl.key into the second box<\/p>\n<p>Navigate to http:\/\/www.globalsign.com\/support\/intermediate-root-install.html<\/p>\n<p>Click on the appropriate link for the type of SSL certificate that you have<\/p>\n<p>Copy the Intermediate certificate into the third (bottom) box<\/p>\n<p>Click Install Certificate at the bottom<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, you should then see a success message<\/p>\n<p>Just for informational purposes: I extracted my key\/crt files on a CentOS 5 machine running OpenSSL version 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5. I have completed the same process before on a Windows machine before, and the process is almost identical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From ben90.com Every time I have to install a GlobalSign SSL Certificate, I always find myself referring to notes that I wrote when I first had to install one.
