How to use 3rd party issued SSL certificates with Godaddy

Step 1: Generate the CSR

1. First, you need to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). You can do so at: csrgenerator.com.
2. Submit the CSR to Godaddy. On godaddy’s site, paste in that CSR generated.
3. Specify the web server (Apache, IIS, etc…).
4. Choose other (for nginx), and then it will let you download two files. One of these will be the godaddy root CA key, the other will be the public key.
5. In the CSR you originally created, copy just the private key, and paste that into a new file.

Step 2: Add the certificate on Teramind Dashboard

1. Click the Gear icon near the top-right corner of the dashboard
2. Click Settings.
3. Select the Security tab.
