GoDaddy SSL Certificate Types – How to Discern

godaddyssl-certificatetomcat

I'm following these instructions for installing a GoDaddy Certificate in Apache Tomcat:

http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5239/generating-a-csr-and-installing-an-ssl-certificate-in-tomcat-4x5x6x?locale=en

However, in the steps a root certificate, intermediate certificate, and certificate are referenced. How can I tell which file is which?

These are the names of the three files that I received in the download. I've tried opening each one in windows by simply double clicking too, but I see no reference to their type.

gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt

gdig2.crt

2b9918dccf2f1d.crt

Best Answer

gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt: Go Daddy Certificate Bundles - G2 With Cross to G1, includes Root
gdig2.crt: Go Daddy Secure Server Certificate (Intermediate Certificate) - G2
2b9918dccf2f1d.crt: Your certificate

Problem

You are unable to create a valid Tomcat Keystore using a GoDaddy crt and key file

Curl output may look like this:

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Getting the Script

curl -O https://raw.github.com/ssstonebraker/braker-scripts/master/working-scripts/crt_to_keystore.sh
chmod +x crt_to_keystore.sh

Using the script

./crt_to_keystore.sh <path_to_crt> <path_to_key>
