In this recipe, we requested a new SSL certificate from our favorite public Certification Authority. In order to receive a certificate from them, we had to issue a CSR from our web server. Once we have our CSR generated, we simply copy and paste it into the web interface for our CA entity and they give us a new certificate based on that CSR. Once downloaded, the new certificate file can be imported back into the web server, where it is ready for use by our own website.

One note of importance; after you install the new certificate on your server, double-click on the certificate to open it up. You want to make sure that you have a message displaying on the main page of your certificate properties that says You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate. This will display near the bottom of the General tab of the certificate. If you do not see this message, something did not work correctly with the CSR and you will probably have to start the process over to request another new copy of the certificate. Having a private key that corresponds to your SSL certificate is critical to getting your website working properly.
