How can I configure a Comodo Wildcard SSL Certificate on multiple servers?
For installation on a single server, follow these steps:
- Purchase the certificate.
- Generate CSR. When creating a wildcard certificate, enter your domain as *.mydomain.com
- Complete the certificate validation. The Certificate Authority will send the certificate to you via email.
- Install on the server. Use the SSL/TLS Wizard in cPanel to install the certificate.
When installing a wildcard certificate on multiple servers, there’s one additional step to perform on each server: uploading your private key.
Your private key is generated and saved on your server when you create the CSR. Since this step is only done on one server, you must transfer your private key to each other server during the certificate installation.
How To Transfer Your Private Key To Multiple Servers
1. Log into your cPanel account.
2. Navigate to SSL/TLS under the SECURITY section.
3. Click on Generate, view, upload, or delete your private keys under Private Keys (KEY).
4. Click Edit under the Action column for the selected key.
5. Copy the private key from the Encoded Private Key: section.
6. Once you’ve copied the private key to your clipboard, paste it into the private key field on your additional servers.
