SSL Cert for Godaddy

Postby patchnet » Thu Jun 03, 2010 11:52 am

Here are the Update setup for godaddy SSL 2048


You need to create a private key without file encryption:

"openssl genrsa -out <name of your certificate>.key 2048"


"openssl req -new -key <name of your certificate>.key -out <name of your certificate>.csr"

For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. Note for Wildcard SSL prepend with "*" the domain "*.domain.com"


Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: GB
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]: Yorks
Locality Name (eg, city) []: York
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: MyCompany Ltd
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: IT
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []: mysubdomain.mydomain.com
Email Address []:

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request (no password neassary)

A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Copy the text from the CSR file to the GoDaddy SSL manager Page for third parties

Download the CRT for Apache file from GoDaddy

Expand the ZIP Files

In Switchvox Ver. 4.* Then Copy the CRT file text to X.509 and KEY text to the RSA Private Key in the Machine Admin >Network Settings> Advanced Options
NOTE: leave the Intermediate CA Certificate blank

In Switchvox Ver. 5.* Then Copy the CRT file text to X.509 and KEY text to the RSA Private Key in the SERVER>Networking>HTTPs & Proxy

I followed this setup, but I get a "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority" error in Chrome. Most of the other web browsers don't throw any errors. When running my domain through an SSL checker, it says
The certificate is not trusted in all web browsers. You may need to install an Intermediate/chain certificate to link it to a trusted root certificate. Learn more about this error. The fastest way to fix this problem is to contact your SSL provider


I know Godaddy uses/requires an Intermediate certificate to work properly. However, Switchvox won't let me enter anything into the Intermediate CA box. It say's "Intermediate CA Certificate is invalid."

Do I need to bundle the intermediate certificate with the X.509 certificate?

My Godaddy certificate is a unlimited subdomain wildcard cert.
