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.

Installing your Web Server Certificate
Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Go to the WebSTAR ADMIN utility.
  2. Open Server Settings under Edit.
  3. Select SSL Security.
  4. Select your server IP address on the upper panel.
  5. Select SSL2&SSL3 on the lower panel in the Security Drop Down Menu.
  6. Click the Choose button to select your new certificate file location under SSL Certificate File.
  7. Click the Choose button to select its matching private key file location under Private Key File.
  8. Type your private key password.
  9. Select all encryption options, except MAC. For MAC, please use No Encryption.
  10. Save and then exit the utility.

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.
