Concatenate Certificate Files

Combine your key and certificate files into a PEM file.

Procedure

1. Create a new server.pem file and open it in a text editor.
2. Copy the contents of your server.key file and paste it in server.pem using the following format.

   -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 
   (Your Private Key: server.key) 
   -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 

3. Copy the contents of the server.crt file you received from a certificate authority and paste it in server.pem using the following format.

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
     (Your Primary SSL certificate: server.crt)
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----  

4. If the Certificate Authorities provided you with an intermediate or chained certificate, append the intermediate or chained certificates to the end of the public certificate file in the following format.

   -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 
   (Your Private Key: server.key) 
   -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
   (Your Primary SSL certificate: server.crt) 
   -----END CERTIFICATE----- 
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
   (Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt) 
   -----END CERTIFICATE----- 
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
   (Your Root certificate: TrustedRoot.crt) 
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

5. Save your server.pem file.
