Installing an SSL certificate through the cPanel interface

Introduction

 This article will show you how to install an SSL certificate

Requirements

• a cPanel account
• Certificate files with the three specific elements:
• certificate,  private-key,  ca-bundle,  which are usually found in three files with or without extensions, with their specific names, sometimes they are compressed into a single archive (.zip), obtained online from the issuing institution or the company from which you purchased that SSL.
• A simple text editor such as Notepad to open each of the three component files of the SSL, from which all the text will be copied row by row (select all + copy) -> later to be pasted in the fields mentioned in the steps section below.
• Optional - an unarchiving program (usually included in the operating system) - necessary in case the files are sent to you in an archive.

Steps 

• We will authenticate in the control panel with the related account credentials.

• We select SSL/TLS from the SECURITY menu.

• Select Manage SSL sites from the MENU: Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS)

• We select the domain that we want to install the SSL certificate.

• We copy the 3 parts of the certificate (certificate, private-key, ca-bundle) into the box corresponding to each entry.

• After the insertion of the 3 specific elements of the SSL certificate, we will press the "install certificate" button
• Attention !!! Copying will be done even with special characters at the beginning and end of the text:                  

      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
