Import a signed SSL certificate

When a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) has been signed by a Certificate Authority, the resulting certificate chain must be imported to the identity where the CSR was generated. If the whole certificate chain is not present in the same file (for example one certificate file for the CA root certificate, one for the SSL certificate itself and possibly additional files for intermediate CA certificates), all certificates in the chain must be added to the trust store before the signed SSL certificate is imported. See Import a trusted certificate. Any such imported trusted certificates should be imported in reverse order. In other words, start with the CA root certificate and work upwards the chain to end with the certificate that actually signed the SSL certificate. Imported certificates must be DER or Base64 encoded.
