SSL Certificate Installation Instructions

Zeus Web Server v3

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.

1. Select the Web icon from the Admin Server control panel.

2. Select the Nut & Bolt icon for this server. Select SSL Configuration.

3. Define the file paths for yourdomain.txt and your Private Key at the Edit Server panel. Click Update.

4. Return to the Admin Server's Home Page which displays the status of your virtual web servers.

5. Click on the red traffic light to make it green.

6. Stop the server by issuing the command: /usr/local/zeus/stop-zeus
   Restart server by issuing the command: /usr/local/zeus/start-zeus

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.
