Correct way to import certificates into MSG

Issue:

What is the correct way to combine certificate(s) and key into one file that can be imported into MSG?

Resolution:

The files provided by the Certificate Authority needs to be assembled in the following order: Appliance certificate, any intermediate certificate(s), Private key.
The data can be bundled together in your text editor of choice, and then saved as a .pem-file to be imported into the MSG appliance.
The end result might look something like this:

—-BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–

—–END CERTIFICATE—–
—-BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–

—–END CERTIFICATE—–
—-BEGIN PRIVATE KEY—–

—–END PRIVATE KEY—–
