When your order is first placed with VikingCloud, you will be given a standard (non EV) digital server certificate to deploy while your EV digital certificate is being prepared. Ensure that you remove this certificate once you receive the VikingCloud email delivering your final EV digital certificate.
(HINT) You can check that the certificate you deployed is an EV certificate by opening it with the Microsoft Management Console (on windows) and looking at the contents of the SUBJECT field to verify that it contains the following string "1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3". If that string is not present, your certificate is not an EV and you should request an EV digital certificate from VikingCloud.
This portion of the certificate installation process is exactly the same as the installation of any other type of certificate and you should follow the certificate installation instructions for your specific server.
