Loading...Quick steps to install an SSL Certificate on a SonicWall SSL VPN
To install an SSL certificate successfully on your SonicWall SSL VPN, first, import your SSL certificate and then import your CA Certificate.
After purchasing an SSL certificate from RapidSSLOnline.com, we will send you an email that contains your SSL certificate files. Download all the files and save them on your server directory.
