In the Certificate Management module, you upload SSL certificates for the local domains in the license.
SSL ensures that emails are sent securely between our web servers and the recipient's email client, preventing interception during transmission. In addition, the web versions of emails viewed by users are secured with HTTPS, which encrypts the content and assets. This ensures that third parties cannot intercept the data between the user and our servers.
By default, our system administrators automatically arrange Let's Encrypt certificates for the local domains in the license. If you prefer to use your own SSL certificate, please contact your account manager or email sales@spotler.com so that the Certificate Management functionality can be activated for you.
This article explains how Certificate Management works and how you can upload an SSL certificate yourself.
How to upload your own SSL certificate
Go to Admin → Certificate management. Here you will see an overview of the SSL certificates for the local domains.
If an SSL certificate is about to expire, you will receive an email about this. Furthermore, in the Request certificate column, the Request new certificate button will be available. This button will be available 30 days before the SSL certificate expires.
Click the Request new certificate button. A screen with a form will open. In this form, fill in the data for the CSR file. Once you have filled in the form, click on the Create certificate request file button. The CSR file will now be downloaded.
The CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is required to request a new SSL certificate. Once you have downloaded the CSR file, the Request new certificate button disappears and a new button appears in the column Upload certificate.
Submit the CSR file to the party that issues your SSL certificates, to request the SSL certificate. Once you have obtained the SSL certificate, upload it to the Certificate Management. Click Upload certificate. A screen will open in which you fill in the details of the SSL certificate.
The certificate you received consists of a certificate source and an intermediate certificate source. Open the certificate source and copy the entire text into the text field, including the start line and end line. You can recognize this by:
—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–
……
—–END CERTIFICATE—–
Paste this in the field Certificate source.
For the text field Intermediate certificate source, you need to copy the text from the intermediate certificate. Copy the text again, including the start line and end line. Paste this text into the text field.
Click Upload. The SSL certificate has been uploaded for the local domain. After a successful upload, the overview of Certificate Management will show that the certificate has been installed correctly and until when the SSL certificate is valid.
