SSL .pem files (concatenated certificate container files), are frequently required for certificate installations when multiple certificates are being imported as one file.
Creating a .pem with the Entire SSL Certificate Trust Chain
1. Download your Intermediate (CertCA.crt), Root (TrustedRoot.crt), and Primary Certificates (your_domain_name.crt) from your provider.
2. Open a text editor (such as wordpad) and paste the entire body of each certificate into one text file in the following order:
- The Primary Certificate - your_domain_name.crt
- The Intermediate Certificate - DigiCertCA.crt
- The Root Certificate - TrustedRoot.crt
Make sure to include the beginning and end tags on each certificate. The result should look like this:
| BEGIN CERTIFICATE (Your Primary SSL Certificate: your_domain_name.crt) END CERTIFICATE BEGIN CERTIFICATE (You Intermediate Certificate: DigiCertCA.crt) END CERTIFICATE BEGIN CERTIFICATE (Your Root Certificate: TrustedRoot.crt) END CERTIFICATE |
Save the combined file as your_domain_name.pem. The .pem file is now ready to use.
Creating a .pem with the Server and Intermediate Certificates
1. Download your Intermediate (CertCA.crt) and Primary Certificates (your_domain_name.crt) from your provider.
2. Open a text editor (such as wordpad) and paste the entire body of each certificate into one text file in the following order:
- The Primary Certificate - your_domain_name.crt
- The Intermediate Certificate - DigiCertCA.crt
Make sure to include the beginning and end tags on each certificate. The result should look like this:
|
BEGIN CERTIFICATE |
Save the combined file as your_domain_name.pem. The .pem file is now ready to use.
Creating a .pem with the Private Key and Entire Trust Chain
1. Download your Intermediate (CertCA.crt) and Primary Certificates (your_domain_name.crt) from your provider.
2. Open a text editor (such as wordpad) and paste the entire body of each certificate into one text file in the following order:
- he Private Key - your_domain_name.key
- The Primary Certificate - your_domain_name.crt
- The Intermediate Certificate - DigiCertCA.crt
- The Root Certificate - TrustedRoot.crt
Make sure to include the beginning and end tags on each certificate. The result should look like this:
| BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY (You Private Key: you_domain_name.key) END RSA PRIVATE KEY BEGIN CERTIFICATE (Your Primary SSL Certificate: your_domain_name.crt) END CERTIFICATE BEGIN CERTIFICATE (You Intermediate Certificate: CertCA.crt) END CERTIFICATE BEGIN CERTIFICATE (Your Root Certificate: TrustedRoot.crt) END CERTIFICATE |
Save the combined file as your_domain_name.pem. The .pem file is now ready to use.
