How to export an Everleap SSL certificate

Overview

You can export an SSL certificate from your Everleap account, for example to install the same certificate on another server. Exporting does not affect the certificate that is already running on your site.

Exporting your Everleap SSL certificate will not unbind the SSL certificate from your site, nor will it delete it from our servers.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Everleap Control Panel at cp.everleap.com.
  2. From the top menu click Services, then SSL Certificates.
  3. Find the certificate you would like to export in the list, and click Manage next to it.
  4. Choose to export the certificate, and provide a password when prompted.

About the export format

Certificates are exported as a PFX file. This is the only format offered.

A PFX contains both the certificate and its private key, which is why you must set a password on it. Keep that password safe: you will be asked for it when you import the file somewhere else, and without it the file is unusable.

Notes

  • Only certificates that have been issued and installed can be exported. A certificate signing request that is still showing as Requested has no certificate attached to it yet.
  • Because a PFX includes the private key, treat the exported file as a secret. Do not email it unencrypted.
  • To bring a PFX back into an Everleap account, see Importing a SSL certificate (PFX).
