ProcedureTo Install the Certificate

Installing is a separate process from requesting. Once the email response to your request for a certificate has arrived from the CA and been saved as a text file, run the Certificate Setup Wizard once more to install the file as a certificate:

Steps
  1. Specify that you are installing a certificate that you have already obtained.

  2. Paste the text of your certificate into a field when prompted to do so.

  3. Change the certificate nickname from server-cert to Server-Cert.

    If you do not want to change the certificate nickname, you can change what the system wants the certificate nickname to be by setting the configutil parameter encryption.rsa.nssslpersonalityssl.

    (For more complete instructions, see the chapter on SSL in Managing Servers with iPlanet Console.)


    Note –

    This is also the process you follow to install a CA certificate (described next), which your server uses to determine whether to trust the certificates presented by clients.
