SSL certificates - help needed

[alex.kolaric]

Hi,

I successfully created test certificate for our app to use it as secure based on the help from Nettalk documents. Our customer wanted certificate from godaddy so we created CSR file for them (again using the batch files from Nettalk) and they sent it. Now they are sent us 2 CRT files instead of one:

1) CRT file named as our website
2) gd_bundle.CRT

when I put them together with the .KEY  file generated by CSR batch file in the certificates directory of the web server and recompile to point to the new cert file nothing happens. Web site doesn't work anymore. I tried to put the second certificate file contents into the first file but still nothing.

Any help is appreciated. I don't know how to solve this issue.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

I solved it by renaming the .KEY file so it is named exactly the same as .CRT file and the contents of .CRT file is built from both CRT files I got.

yes, and importantly the "bundle" one (also known as the "intermediate certificates") comes _after_ the "your certificate" one in the text file.
