godaddy cert download name [solved]
« on: May 01, 2014, 03:28:51 AM »
I am updating an SSL cert for SME 8.x. I downloaded the .crt package from godaddy and noticed the file name is not in the form of {domain name}.crt but rather an alphanumeric such as a34rh29384.crt. The .csr and .key files do use the domain name format. This strikes me as an error on GoDaddy's part.

1. Do it matter to SME/ssl if the files are not named the same?

If yes,
2. can I just rename the .crt file?
or
3. should I go hang out on the godaddy support phone line and ask them what is the deal?

Update
After reading several pages, I decided to just try it even though I feared screwing up the clients. It worked fine. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.contribs.org/Certificate_Integration_GoDaddy_Certificate.
and here: http://wiki.contribs.org/Certificates_Concepts

GoDaddy wildcard certificates include a chain file, aka intermediate authority file. I updated the following config properties:
CommonName
modSSL crt
modSSL key
modSSL CertificateChainFile
