Courier IMAP SSL Installation Instructions

Create The PEM File

Once you have downloaded your certificates from your certificate authority, open the primary certificate and the private key that you created earlier in a text editor. Copy and paste the text in the  Primary Certificate and then from the Private Key. Save the file with a .pem extension (i.e myCertificate.pem) The file should look like this when finished:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Primary SSL certificate)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(Your Private Key)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

If your certificate requires an intermediate certificate, open it in a text editor and save it as a new file named intermediate.txt.
