Hoping the community may be able to provide some experience with SSL Certificates in Ignition Gateway and tell me what I have overlooked in my workflow. Full disclosure, I am not an expert of SSL Certificates and attempted the install on an evaluation version of the software.

**Reference material that I used to do the install:**  
1.) [Secure Communication (SSL / TLS) - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58611186)  
2.) [Critical Security Steps in Ignition - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieyvxOikBHQ&t=421s) \<— Starts at 3:32 mark

**Order of workflow and corresponding certificates installed:**

1. csr generated in Ignition for Private Key .csr
2. DNS CNAME entries.txt
3. myDomain\_com.crt
4. myDomain\_com.ca-bundle
