Verify the CSR's contents by viewing it with this command:
#openssl req -noout -text -in "servername.csr"

Verify the Entrust SSL Certificate (signed public key) with this command:
#openssl x509 -noout -text -in /ssl.crt/server.crt (ssl.crt is the full directory)

Verify the private key with this command:
#openssl rsa -noout -text -in /ssl.key/server.key (ssl.key is the full directory)

To make sure you are using the right private key with the right web server certificate (public key) The "modulus" and the "public exponent" portions in the private key and the web server certificate must match.

SSL Certificates

Entrust SSL certificates inspire consumer trust by signifying a Web site's commitment to protecting the personal information of its visitors. By using SSL, companies help ease the security concerns of its customers, leading to a more engaging online experience. An SSL certificate is used to confirm that an SSL encryption algorithm is actively securing data being transmitted to a Web site. Digital certificates usually contain the SSL subscriber's information, the name of the certificate issuer, and the strength of the encryption in use. In addition to the "padlock" icon displayed in Web browsers and the https:// prefix, the SSL certificate is one more indicator customers look for as evidence that a Web site is serious about protecting their information.
