How to send details to the Certification Authority
To complete the SSL Certificate activation procedure:
- check all the details shown on the summary page, paying particular attention to those relating to actions required for the validation method you chose in the previous steps;
- read the terms and conditions;
- select Submit for verification.
How long does activation take?
Having completed the actions required by the validation method selected (txt file, edit a DNS record, etc.), wait for the activation procedure to be completed.
Times vary depending on the type of Certificate:
- DV: this type does not involve further checks and the SSL Certificate is generated immediately;
- OV: this type of Certificate requires a series of checks on the data entered; you may be contacted by an operator handling these checks. It can take 3 to 5 days;
- EV: involves the same checks as for an OV SSL Certificate so you may also be contacted by an operator handling these checks.
What you need to do once the Certificate has been generated
Once generated, download the SSL Certificate from the email received by the technical contact or sign in to your Customer Area.
Continue to the next step. Install the SSL Certificate on the server hosting the domain.
