Easypanel SSL/TLS Installation Guide

Head over to SSLTrust's CSR Generator and generate your CSR and Private Key.

Once you have filled in all the details, make sure to save the Private Key and CSR in a secure location.

The next step in the installation process is to order an SSL Certificate. If you visit our SSL Certificates List page, you will see a number of options available at SSLTrust, such as a low-cost domain-validated SSL or a multi-domain SSL to secure more than one domain from a single certificate.

If you need help choosing the right SSL Certificate, our sales/support team is here to help. Just reach out to them, and they'll be glad to offer their assistance.

1: Once you've added the SSL Certificate into your cart, you can now click on Checkout to complete the process.

Fill in your account details

Choose your preferred mode of payment and click on checkout.

2: After you have purchased the SSL Certificate, you can start the configuration process.
This can be started by going into your SSLTrust account and managing your recent purchase.
Head over to the SSLTrust Dashboard and under Services, select My Services.

You should be able to see your purchased certificate and order status, now click on Manage

This will take you to the Product Details of your SSL Certificate. Click on start configuration to do the configuration yourself or you can provide the URL below to the appropriate person to complete the configuration for you.

3: Copy and paste the previously generated CSR (Certificate Signing Request) which should include:-

Then, click on Verify CSR.
If the CSR details match the inputs you've entered before, you can now proceed or else generate a new CSR with proper details.

Select the Server Type and click on Next Step>

To obtain a business SSL certificate, you will need to provide your business details, including your correct address, phone number, and legal entity name. The Certificate Authority will verify the accuracy of this information. If there are any mistakes, it may cause delays in the process.
Then, click on Next Step>

5: The next step in this process is Domain Control Validation (DCV). Basically, Domain control validation is a process used to verify that the person or organization requesting an SSL/TLS certificate for a domain has the authority to control that domain. There are several different methods that can be used to perform DCV, including email validation, DNS validation, and file-based validation.

Select the method that is easiest for you. Having an email address with the domain name will be the quickest.
You will be sent an email containing a link which when clicked upon should validate your domain name.
In HTTP/HTTPS File Validation Method, you can create a folder in the specified and directory, paste in the contents and your domain should be validated.

The final method to validate your domain name would be CNAME Validation. Basically you have to create a CNAME record in your DNS Settings to validate your domain name and then click on the Check DNS Record button to verify DNS changes.

After a few seconds or minutes depending on your DNS propagation speed, the CNAME record should be verified.

The configuration should be a success. Click on the button below to access the validation manager.

6: Your certificate should have now been issued if you completed all the above steps correctly.

If not, click on Domain Control Validation, and re-submit whatever method you chose for validation.
Upon completing domain validation using the chosen method, your SSL certificate will be issued. If you have ordered a Business SSL, you will need to wait for the Certificate Authority to verify your business address and phone number. If the validation process has not been completed or you have not received your certificate after a certain period of time, please reach out to the support team to check on the status of your certificate.

Once your SSL certificate has been issued, you will receive an email with the certificate directly from the Certificate Authority. Alternatively, you can download the certificate from the SSLTrust Portal, which presents the certificate in a convenient, easy-to-use format.
