Installing your Certificate on Novell I-Chain

This document introduces installing a Server Digital Certificate, and answers questions you might have.

Installing a Server Digital Certificate

Upload a New SSL Certificate

After you are emailed your certificate, two other certificates will be necessary to setup your SSL Server, IPS SERVIDORES ROOT CERTIFICATE and the intermediate CA IPSCA CLASEA1. It is essential that these certificates also be installed on your webserver in order to establish correct SSL connections with your customer's browsers. Should they be required, you may download these certificates individually or collectively as a bundled file below:

IPSServidores.crt

IPSCACLASEA1.crt

IPS-IPSCABUNDLE.CRT

Steps to install the certificate

Open ConsoleOne and open the ICS container for the iChain server.
Open the certificate.

Select the 'Certificates' tab and press the "Import" button.
Click 'Read from file' and browse to the
IPS-IPSCABUNDLE.CRT certificate.
Press 'Next'.
Click 'Read from file' and browse to the new server certificate or paste it into the window supplied.
Click 'Finish' to install the certificate.

You may get an error stating that the subject in the certificate does not match the subject in the object (CSR). This will be due to additional OUs in the certificate. Accept the certificate anyway. If a validation is attempted on the certificate in ConsoleOne it will produce an error stating 'Unable to validate the certificate chain to a root certificate'.

On the iChain server click 'Apply'.
The certificate will be installed but will display an error stating '-1240 Certificate failed parsing - may need external certificate'.

Open the accelerator for the web site. The 'Certificate' drop down item in the Secure Exchange portion will now have the certificate available. Select the new certificate, click OK and then press 'Apply'.

When the Management display is refreshed the website will be secured with the new certificate.
