Geotrust will email you your certificate. If the certificate is an attachment (Cert.cer), you can use the file. If the certificate is in the body of the email, copy and paste it into a text file (such as OriginalCert.txt) using Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs that may add characters. Confirm that there are no extra lines or spaces in the file. If necessary, move the file to the server machine.
Important: Please note before starting the installation process that the pending request must match the response file. If you deleted the pending request in error you must generate a new CSR and replace this certificate.
