SSL Certificate Installation Instructions

Ensim

Firstly when your issuance email arrives it will contain your web server certificate. Copy your web server certificate into a text editor such as notepad including the header and footer. You should then have a text file that looks like:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[encoded data]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Make sure you have 5 dashes to either side of the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and that no white space, extra line breaks or additional characters have been inadvertently added. Save the certificate as yourdomain.txt.

These instructions apply for both Ensim Pro and Ensim 3.x.

1. Click SSL Settings - access to this link may differ depending on your version of Ensim:
   
   If you are running Ensim Pro. In the shortcuts section of the Home page, click SSL Settings in the Web Server section:
   
   
   
   Or if you are running Ensim 3.x, click the Services link on the left, then click the Edit button for the Apache Web Server service:
   
   
   
   Then in the Apache Web Server Manager click the SSL Settings link:
   
   
   
2. Select Import at the bottom of the SSL Settings form.
   
   
3. Copy the contents of yourdomain.txt and paste it into the Certificate text box
   Be sure to include -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- through -----END CERTIFICATE-----
   
   
   
4. Select Save.
5. To make security effective on your domain, restart the Web server. The domain is not secure until you do so.

Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP. The padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
