SSLGenie : iPlanet WebServer 4.x/6.x

Solution

Installing iPlanet 4.x and sunONE Application Server 6.x

When you receive your certificates from SSLGenie there will be your Site Certificate (named yourdomain.crt) plus 2 others (a Root Certificate and an Intermediate CA Certificate). These 2 must be installed as a certificate chain.

Sign onto the Webserver and select the server to manage.

Select the Security tab and then Install Certificate.

• Open the Root in a text editor.
• Select Trusted Certificate Authority, enter the password and copy the text from the Root certificate to the Message Text box (including the BEGIN and END lines), then click OK.
• Accept the certificate.

Repeat the above steps using the text from the Intermediate CA certificate and select Server Certificate Chain.

For the site certificate again repeat the above steps, but this time select "This Server" instead of "Server Certificate Chain." At this stage all the certificates are installed and SSL now needs to be activated.

Select the Preferences tab and then Encryption On/Off

Set encryption to 'On' and Port to 443, click OK, then Save and Apply.



Now Shutdown and Restart the server.
