True BusinessID with EV Installation Instructions

Download and copy your certificate files to your server

Download your SSL certificate and support files by clicking on the download link in your fulfillment email or from your GeoCerts SSL Manager account. Unzip the files and copy them into the directory where you will keep your certificates. Some files in the zip may or may not be used depending on your server type.

Important! In order for your EV SSL Certificate to function properly, you must install two (2) GeoTrust EV Intermediate Certificates on your Web server in addition to the EV server certificate to enable the "green bar" capability in supported browsers and to ensure the proper trust chain is established.

Customers NOT running Apache Web servers

For customers working with non-Apache web servers you will need to import the following two EV intermediate certificates in addition to the EV SSL Server Certificate (your_domain_com.txt). These files are available from your X.509 Zip download.

  1. GeoTrust_Intermediate.txt
  2. GeoTrust_Intermediate_2.txt
  3. your_domain_com.txt

Customers running Apache Web servers

For customers working with Apache web servers you will need to import the GeoTrust CA Bundle from your X.509 zip download (GeoTrust_CA_Bundle.txt). Please refer to the following instructions for Apache
