| − | There are a number of ways and methods to get a signed SSL certificate. Usually, your IT team will have a preferred method and supplier to obtain you a valid SSL certificate that’s appropriate for you. This method below is a common DIY method, but by no means is exclusive.

| − | == Step: Three: Sending the Certificate and the Private Key to Emersion ==
| |
| − | | |
