4. Copy the certificate code you received from the Certificate Authority including —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—– and paste it into the “Certificate: (CRT)”field on the next page. The certificate files can be opened with the help of a text editor (e.g., Notepad for Windows or Textedit for macOS) on your computer.

   Note:The certificate code can be found in the *yourdomain*.crt file which is usually sent to you in the email from the Certificate Authority. Alternatively, it can be seen in your Naija Domains Account Manager View Product & Services once the SSL is active & Generated.

Please remember to include Begin/End headers and footers for the certificate and the key. In case the private one is missing, please generate Private Key from your Account Manager by clicking Get Private Key
