Q: Having a ton of trouble with the new 2.2 Server Application and trying to import a GoDaddy SSL Wildcard Cert
I have a valid intermediate and wildcard SSL cert I purchased from GoDaddy. My entire PC server fleet uses this same cert. While I can find instructions on importing this cert into server 10.6, there seems to be no instructions on how to make it work with 10.8 server rev 2.2...
If someone with a good understanding wouldn't mind step by stepping this for me, I would be very appreciative.
Mac mini, OS X Server, Server App v2.2

In addition to what UptimeJeff said above. Your certificate cannot work without the originally generated key. Another way to backup your cert and key is to use Keychain Access.
- Choose the "System" keychain.
- Select "Certificates" from the Category section
- Certificates that have a disclosure triangle to the left of them are ones that have a private key. You can see this by clicking the triangle.
- Select the certificate and choose "Export Items..."
- You will be prompted to create a filename and choose the file format. You want the "Personal Information Exchange" P12 format.
- You will then be asked to create a password to encrypt the key.
- You can now take this file to another computer, Apple or Windows and import the certificate with the key.
- You will be prompted for the password you created when importing.
