Apple OS X Server 10.5 - Certificate installation

Immediately after being issued, your SSL certificate will be sent to you by email. It is also possible to download the certificate from the Control Panel. The file containing the certificate will have the same name as the domain name it is meant for (for example: www_sslcertificaten_nl.crt).

Please Note: the root- and intermediate certificates must be installed before the domain certificate is installed.

2. Navigate to Applications → Utilities using Finder and doubleclick on Keychain Access.

4. Select System keychain on the left.
5. Select menu File → Import and select the stored rootcertificate.
