3. Paste Certificate Body
   Open certificate.crt with a text editor. Copy its full contents and paste them into the Certificate body text field.
4. Paste Certificate Private Key
   Open private.key with a text editor. Copy its full contents and paste them into the Certificate private key text field.
5. Paste Certificate Chain
   Open ca_bundle.crt with a text editor. Copy its full contents and paste them into the Certificate chain text field.
6. Review and Import
   Click Review and import, confirm the details are correct, and then click Import.
