Issue:<\/h3>\n

What is the correct way to combine certificate(s) and key into one file that can be imported into MSG?<\/p>\n

Resolution:<\/h3>\n

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:<\/p>\n

—-BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–<\/p>\n

—–END CERTIFICATE—–
—-BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–<\/p>\n

—–END CERTIFICATE—–
—-BEGIN PRIVATE KEY—–<\/p>\n

—–END PRIVATE KEY—–<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
