Installing a Server Digital Certificate on a StarNine Webstar 4.x Server
This document provides the instructions for installing a Server
Digital Certificate. IPSCA recommends that you contact the
Server vendor for additional information.
Installing a Server Digital Certificate:
Make sure that your web server has SSL
capabilities. It should say "SSL" in the Status window on the
server, and have an SSL Security item in the list of Settings in
WebSTAR Admin.
To install an SSL server, you may need to
install WebSTAR from the distribution CD.
Make sure the Status
window is open on the server machine.
In WebSTAR Admin,
Settings window (on any machine), select SSL Security.
The
top area lists the IP addresses you have set using the IP Secondary
Addresses file. The lower area sets your security options,
including certificate and private key data. The checkboxes set your
policy regarding incoming connections.
Each IP address uses a different certificate. You can have
certificates for several of these addresses, but one IP address can
only have a single certificate.
Select the item for the IP
address which corresponds to the host name of the current
Certificate.
On the Security popup menu, select SSL 2 and SSL
3.
Use the Certificate Choose button to select the
certificate file you have saved in your host root folder described
in Generate a Key.
Use the Private Key File Choose button to
select the private key file saved in your host root folder,
described in Downloading Your Certificate.
Type or paste your
Private Key Password into the appropriate field.
Click the
Save button.
Look at the server Status window. You should see
a message confirming that the SSL certificate was accepted.
