  2. Visit Settings > Hosting page in your Parse.com dashboard
  3. Upload the file ssl.cert into the SSL Public Certificate field
  4. Go back to startssl.com > Toolbox > Decrypt Private Key, save decrypted file as privatekey.pem
  5. Upload privatekey.pem to Parse.com in the SSL Private Key field
