-----END CERTIFICATE-----

1. Copy the Entrust SSL Certificate to your clipboard. You must include the "----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" lines.
2. Paste the certificate into a simple text editor, and ensure that the entire text is flushed to the left with no leading or trailing white space. If there are any extra spaces or missing dashes the server will not recognize the format of the file and you will not be able to install the certificate.
3. Save the file as /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.crt/servername.crt

You have just installed your Entrust SSL Certificate.
It is strongly recommended that the httpd.conf file is backed up before attempting modifications.
In the section of /path/to/your/apacheconf/httpd.conf ensure that the following entries are correct:

Enable / Disbale SSL for this host
SSLEngine on

Certificate Paths:
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.crt/servername.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.key/servername.pem
