Note
  • If you wish to secure your domain name on multiple servers, you need to purchase Additional License(s) for your Digital Certificate and install your Digital Certificate on these servers. See details

  • The thawte Cross Root CA and Intermediate CA need to be either copy-pasted together or installed as a single .crt file, such that they are mentioned together separated by their individual '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----' and '-----END CERTIFICATE-----'.

    We have downloaded the thawte Cross Root CA and Intermediate CA from thawte and included them in their individual .crt files. You may download the respective CA Bundle from the above table, depending upon the type of thawte Digital Certificate you have purchased from CCOL.

    Note

    The CA Bundle needs to be installed on your web server.

  • In order to install the Digital Certificate on certain web servers such as Microsoft Exchange 2010, it is recommended that the Digital Certificate is in the PKCS#7 file format.

    The Digital Certificate that CCOL provides is in the X.509 format. It can be converted to the PKCS#7 format through the link https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html.

  • Upon installing your digital certificate, you should confirm that it has been installed correctly.
