To follow this process, you first need to have the ZIP file you received with your order OR your Exchange Certificate, which may be yourDomain_com.crt (or .cer).
These files must be present on your Exchange Server to follow these instructions.
You should have received your certificate from us, a file typically named your_domain_com.crt, and the CA bundle file containing the intermediate certificates, typically named either dv_chain.txt, ov_chain.txt or ev_chain.txt, and downloadable from your SSL control panel.
