  1. Open Intermediate CA certificate in Notepad or other simple text editor (not Word). Copy-and-paste all the contents of the intermediate file into the CA Bundle (CABUNDLE) box.

    The Intermediate CA certificates can be downloaded by visiting the Intermediate CA Certificate page.

You should receive a message that the certificate was successfully installed and should now see the new certificate when visiting your secure site. If you receive an error you may need to contact your web hosting provider for additional support.
