Install an SSL Certificate

[enginaar]

Hello,

I've a customer who transfered into my server and he has an ssl certificate which is being used at the moment. I requested the old hosting company to send me the certificate and they send me a .cer file which has some string with "-----BEGIN PKCS7-----" at the beginning. Directadmin does not support this type of certificate I think, and what else I should request from the old company.

Thanks for helping.

I've never seen that line on any kind of Certificate; I have no idea whether or not it will work.

We've been marketing Certificates for many years and they all begin with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ends with -----END CERTIFICATE-----.

You'll also need the private key, which in my experience always begins with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and ends with -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

I didn't seen this before too. When I looked at my another certificate which I purchased from Trushwave, I realized that there is a .p7b file additional in the zip. Does anyone know at which systems does this file used.

Try googling .p7b file.
