1. Prerequisites for SSL Installation
Before beginning the SSL installation process, ensure that you have the following:
✅ A registered domain name for the SayPro website.

✅ FTP/SFTP access to upload files if required.
✅ Access to DNS settings for domain verification.
2. SSL Installation Steps
Step 1: Generate a CSR and Private Key
- Log in to the SayPro server or hosting control panel.
- Navigate to the SSL/TLS section.
- Click on “Generate CSR” and enter the required details (Common Name, Organization, Email, Country, etc.).
- Save the generated CSR and private key.
Step 2: Submit CSR to the Certificate Authority (CA)
- Choose a trusted CA (e.g., Let’s Encrypt, DigiCert, or GlobalSign).
- Submit the CSR to the CA for SSL certificate issuance.

Step 3: Download and Install the SSL Certificate

Step 5: Verify SSL Installation

3. Post-Installation Security Measures
✅ Enable Automatic SSL Renewal: Configure auto-renewal if using Let’s Encrypt or other CAs.
