Context

SSL Certificates on webshops have been managed manually until now. This process is not error proof and can lead to incidents when certificates are not renewed in time.

A new process for automating this management and providing a dashboard has been devised. It is explained here.

SSL Certificate upload

With a valid SSL certificate, please isolate the three main certificate parts:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Root certificate: TrustedRoot.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Insert them in the certificate entry form

Primary SSL Certificate → Certificate Key
Intermediate Certificate → Certificate
Rot Certificate → Certificate chain

When uploading the new certificate the date is parsed from SSL certificate. If this is not possible a date is ask for.

The whole process is explained in the video below
