Hello,

I've bought a PositiveSSL Wildcard certificate, for *.domain.com. I like to use it to setup secure DirectAdmin, e.g: https://directadmin.domain.com:2222

I've placed the PositiveSSL Wildcard certificate in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cacert.pem

I've placed the private key in
/usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem

I've combined the following three files, into on named /usr/local/directadmin/conf/carootcert.pem

Intermediate CA UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt
Intermediate CA PositiveSSLCA.crt
domain/site certificate yourdomainname.crt

I've changed/edited directadmin.conf
Code:
SSL=1
ssl_redirect_host=directadmin.domain.com

Afterwards I've restarted DirectAdmin.

Apparantly something did go wrong. If I open https://directadmin.domain.com:2222 I see the right certificate, but both IE and FF give an error that the certificate can not be validated.

What did I do wrong?

Check with PositiveSSL support; you probably didn't install their intermediate cert(s) properly.
