How to install an SSL Certificate

Step by step Instructions

Step 1: Copy your SSL Certificate to file

    You will receive an email from us with your SSL certificate in the email. Copy & paste your SSL Certificate (including the -----BEGIN NETSCAPE CERTIFICATE CHAIN----- and -----END NETSCAPE CERTIFICATE CHAIN----- headers) into a raw text editor such as BBEdit or Notepad, ensuring that no extra line spaces or extra characters are inserted into the data. Choose to save the file as yourdomainname.txt.

Step 2: Install your SSL Certificate

When your certificate is issued you will receive 4 certificates:

Yourdomain.cer
Digi-SignCADigi-SSLXp.crt or Digi-SignCADigi-SSLXs.crt
UTN-USERFirst-Hardware.crt

When you receive your certificates you need to store them in the mydomain directory.

NOTE: If you obtain a private key file from a source other than the Certificate Request Generator servlet, verify that the private key file is in PKCS#5/PKCS#8 PEM format.

To use a certificate chain, append the additional PEM-encoded digital certificates to the digital certificate that issued for the WebLogic Server (the intermediate CA certificate). The last digital certificate in the file chain will be the Root certificate that is self-signed. (example below:)
