Creating a SSL certificate

Before creating a SSL certificate you first have to create a CSR file. When creating a CSR file, please note that only the following local parts of the email adresse are allowed: admin, administrator, hostmaster, postmaster, root, webmaster should be used for the certificate registration.

A documentation on howto create a CSR-file can be found here: How to create a CSR-file

For a basic CreateSSLCert command only a few parameters are required (Requirements for the CreateSSLCert command can be different for specific SSLCERT products.).

How install a SSL certificate in your webserver

Apache

1. Copy the certificate to the directory that you designate. This is the directory in which you plan to store your certificate.
(Default: /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt or /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt)

2. Open the httpd.conf file in a text editor.

3. Locate the secure virtual host pertaining to your order. You should have the following directives within this virtual host. Please add them if you do not.

SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.com.crt 
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.key

Only for Comodo or Starfield certificates:

SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.ca

4. Save the changes and exit the editor.

5. Start or Restart your apache Web server.
(Default: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl or /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart).

6. Test your certificate by connecting to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://yourserver/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.

IMPORTANT: Please note that depending on your operating system the location of the webservers configuration files can be different.


Apache 2

1. Copy the certificate to the directory that you designate. This is the directory in which you plan to store your certificate.
(Default: /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.crt)

2. Open the apache2.conf file in a text editor.

3. Locate the secure virtual host pertaining to your order. You should have the following directives within this virtual host. Please add them if you do not.

SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.com.crt 
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.key

Only for Comodo or Stafield certificates:

SSLCertificateChainFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.com.ca

4. Save the changes and exit the editor.

5. Start or Restart your apache Web server.
(Default: /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop and /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start).

6. Test your certificate by connecting to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://yourserver/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.

Further details can be found in the official apache documentation

IMPORTANT: Please note that depending on your operating system the location of the webservers configuration files can be different.

9. You will see a confirmation screen. When you have read this information, click Next.

10. You now have an IIS SSL server certificate installed.

IMPORTANT: You must now restart the computer to complete the install
