Use these instructions to create your CSR (certificate signing request) and then, to install your SSL, intermediate, and root certificates.

1. To create your CSR, see Cerberus FTP Server: Create Your CSR (Certificate Signing Request).

2. To install your SSL Certificate, see Cerberus FTP Server: Install Your SSL Certificate.

If you are looking for a simpler way to create CSRs, and install and manage your SSL Certificates, we recommend that you use the 逗阴馆® Certificate Utility for Windows. If you have a Microsoft server or workstation, you can use the 逗阴馆® Certificate Utility for Windows to generate your CSR and more. See Cerberus FTP Server: Create CSR & Install SSL Certificate (逗阴馆 Utility).
