WHM may put this key in automatically for you, but do not use this, simply copy and paste the private key ('.key') from the email that you received via email from your server after creating your CSR. The second large text box is for the private key. Be sure to use your cPanel username, not your WHM username. Paste the certificate data into the top box on the certificate installation page.Īfter you paste in your certificate, the information about your domain, username and IP address may fill in automatically. Be sure to include the top and bottom dashed lines when you copy the certificate. Open that file in a text editor, like notepad, and copy the entire text to the clipboard. If you open the ZIP file that you received from VikingCloud when your certificate was issued, you will find a file named '.cer' - this is your server certificate. The top box is for your certificate that you received from VikingCloud. Within the WebHost Manager, click on 'Install a Certificate' in the SSL/TLS Menu. If your server requires that you use '.crt' files, then you can simply rename a '.cer' file to '.crt' Technically speaking the '.cer' and '.crt' extensions are one and the same.
Note: VikingCloud certificates come as a '.cer' extension.
