SSL Import Certificate PFX on DiscountASP.NET

Use this method if you already have an SSL certificate from another provider and have the .pfx file available.

Note: A PFX file is a single, password-protected archive that securely bundles a digital security certificate, its matching private key, and any intermediate certificates. It is commonly used to transfer SSL/TLS certificates and authenticate identities.
Requirements
  • The .pfx file must contain both the certificate and the private key.
  • Only .pfx format is accepted. Other formats (PEM, CRT, CER) must be converted first.
  • You will need the PFX password that was set when the file was exported.

Steps

1. Open the SSL Manager
Log in to your control panel and click SSL Management under Account Management. Then click Import a Certificate (PFX).

2. Upload your PFX file
Click Choose File and select your .pfx file.

3. Enter the PFX Password
Type the password that was set when the PFX was exported. Passwords are case-sensitive.

4. Click Install Certificate

Note: Imported certificates are not automatically renewed. Track your expiration date and re-import before it expires. 

Troubleshooting

  • Verify the .pfx file is valid and not corrupted.
  • Confirm the PFX password is correct (case-sensitive).
  • Ensure the file contains the private key, not just the public certificate.
