Simple Control Panel attempts to automatically assign certificates to domains wherever possible. However, sometimes it is necessary to override the automatic selections.

   NOTE: Available certificates are grouped into two different categories - Preferred and Other. Preferred certificates are those which are most likely to work without issue on the current domain. Other certificates are those which may cause browser validation issues if used. Examples of Other certificates include those which are expired, revoked, self-signed, or do not apply to the current domain.

5. Click Save. The changes made are be applied to the Apache web server, and Apache will restart.
