Installing a Certificate

When you receive your certificate via email from the CA, it will be encrypted with your public key so that only you can decrypt it. The server will decrypt it when you install it. You can either save the email somewhere accessible to the server or copy the text of the mail and be ready to paste the text into the Install Certificate form, as described below.

To install the certificate:

  1. Either type the full path name to the saved email, or paste the email text in the space provided.

  2. In the Certificate Path field, specify a destination directory for the certificate. Enter the name as a relative path off your LivePayment config directory. The default name and location is /config/CCPD-Cert. Remember where you put this file! It should not appear in your document root directory or any generally available directory.

  3. Click OK. Confirm your changes. The server decrypts the message, extracts the certificate, and saves it to the directory you specified.
