Installing your Certificate on Hsphere

Please follow this instruction if you have already purchased a certificate directly from Network Solutions and need to install it through H-Sphere.

Before installing existing certificate in H-Sphere, make sure you:

• Have your CSR and private key copied and stored.
• Go to your Network Solutions Account Manager and get a new certificate. When requested, enter the CSR signing request that you have saved.
  Important: When obtaining SSL certificate, make sure it is generated for Apache regardless of whether you intend to install it on Winbox or Unix box.
• After the permanent SSL Certificate has been generated, save it to a secure location.
  Note: You will need the site/server certificate and the intermediate CA certificate, downloadable from the support Website.

Now go to H-Sphere and do the following:

1. Click SSL on your user Control Panel home page.
2. Go to the Web Service page and click the Import SSL Certificate link in the SSL field.
3. Enter the certificate you received from Network Solutions into the upper Install Certificate based on previously generated Certificate requestbox of the form:
   
4. Click Upload.
5. Enter your intermediate CA certificate into the Certificate Authority File box (for H-Sphere 2.5. Patch 6+):
   
6. Click Install.
7. Now you can use the certificate jointly with the private key you have saved.
