Interesting - when I looked at that yesterday most of them were

selected.

Somewhere along the line they were all deselected. I've now selected

them

all and validated successfully so I guess that's OK.

How are you supposed to know which of the myriad you actually need?

Well with the help of all you good folks I finally got a cert

installed.

It looks like the original problem was that the help-desk folks at
NameCheap didn't issue the right type of cert for some reason. This

time

all was good but ... you were waiting for that weren't you!

Two "issues".

1) If I tell DCM to validate the application the cert is assigned to

it

throws a big red/pink X and says "The application has no Certificate
Authorities defined in the application trust list." Earlier it had

told

me

that all CAs would be trusted so I didn't assign anything. Am I OK

leaving

it like this? I don't recall having to do anything specific before.

2) If I attempt to validate the SSL status with sslshopper.com <
http://sslshopper.com/ <http://sslshopper.com/>> it tells me the cert

expires in 12 days - and yes

I forced it to refresh its cached information. The new cert is the

only

one

assigned to the HTTP server - although I have not actually deleted the

old

one. Has Apache cached the old cert and I need to restart the servers

to

force it to see the new cert?

About the only good thing about certs expiring faster is that I'll be
doing this more regularly and may actually get the hang of it

eventually!

I'll definitely be curious as to what the issue is. The old DCM was

my

go-to but I went through a full cycle of requesting the the new cert

(using

old CSR) and importing the resulting signed cert. It worked for the

first

time using the new DCM so I think, if everything is properly

processed,

the

import will work.

I have only been using LetEncrypt with DCM lately but other CA's

shouldn't be an issue (famous last words....)

Thanks for the step by step Pete.

Sadly it didn't help - I can only think that the helpdesk person who

generated the cert messed something up.

I have issued a new Cert Request and sent the file to them attached

to

a support ticket. Had no choice but to go this route as their web

process

just stalls out during the validation phase.

Will update this thread when it is all fixed. Thanks goodness I

didn't

wait until the day before the old one expired!
