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.
Installing your Web Server Certificate
- Save the certificate file created above as yourdomain.txt
- Go to the WebSTAR ADMIN utility.
- Open Server Settings under Edit.
- Select SSL Security.
- Select your server IP address on the upper panel - the IP address must belong to the host name for which you are going to use your certificate.
- Select SSL2&SSL3 on the lower panel in the Security Drop Down Menu.
- Click the Choose button to select your yourdomain.txt file location under SSL Certificate File.
- Click the Choose button to select its matching private key file location under Private Key File. You will have generated this private when you generated your initial CSR.
- Type your private key password.
- Select all encryption options, except MAC (No Encryption).
- Save and then exit the utility.
- Stop and then Start your WebSTAR server.
Test your certificate by connecting to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.
