Installing your Web Server Certificate

Your certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the Web Server Certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message.

Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a text editor, such as notepad to create text files.

  1. Store the certificate in the /serverroot/config directory using the following format.

    domain_name_com-cert.pem

  2. The certificate must be converted to binary (DER) format. WebLogic provides the pem2der utility to do this. In order for this utility to work, the Java ClassPath variable must include /bea/wlserver6.1/lib/weblogic.jar. 

    java utils.pem2der domain_name_com-cert.pem

    OpenSSL can also be used to convert the certificate to binary format www.openssl.org. The command is:

    openssl x509 -in domain_name_com-cert.pem -inform PEM -outform DER -out domain_name_com-cert.der
  3. Configure the following SSL Protocol settings for the server that you purchased the certificate for. 

    Server Key File Name - The private key file that was created while generating the request.

    /serverroot/domain_name_com-key.der - by default

    Server Certificate File Name - The Certificate that you purchased. 

    /serverroot/domain_name_com-cert.der

    After making the necessary changes, select Apply. You will need to restart the server instance.

Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive, such as https://your.server.com/ to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.

Please note that 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.
