Article Summary

To validate and prepare certificates for upload:

  1. Verify that none of the certificates in the certificate chain are corrupted or using invalid encoding.
    To do so, open each certificate in a program such as Notepad or Word, and verify that it contains the following:
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    ... certificate_content ...
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
  2. Change the identity certificate issued to *.ctera.me to certificate.crt.
  3. Change the file extension of the other certificates in the certificate chain to crt.
    For example, certificate-name.crt.
  4. Archive all of the certificates, the identity certificate, the intermediary certificates, and the root self-signed certificate, in a ZIP file called certificate.zip.
