Creating a .pem File for SSL Certificate Installations
.pem SSL Creation Instructions
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. Log into your <a href="https://www.digicert.com/account/">DigiCert Management Console</a> and download your Intermediate (DigiCertCA.crt), Root (TrustedRoot.crt), and Primary Certificates (your_domain_name.crt).
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. Log into your <a href="https://www.digicert.com/account/">DigiCert Management Console</a> and download your Intermediate (DigiCertCA.crt) and Primary Certificates (your_domain_name.crt).
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 |
