How to Set up a Secure Instance of an iPlanet Web Server (iPlanet Web Server 5.0)

Any certificates that are installed for a secure instance of an iPlanet Web Server must be installed from all cluster nodes. The following procedure involves running the administrative console on each node.

1. Determine the iPlanet Web Server release that you use.

   If you use iPlanet Web Server 5.0, proceed to the next step.

   If you use iPlanet Web Server 6.0, see "How to Set up a Secure Instance of an iPlanet Web Server (iPlanet Web Server 6.0)".

2. Ensure that you are installing a secure instance of iPlanet Web Server.

   If you are not installing a secure instance of iPlanet Web Server, proceed to "How to Configure an iPlanet Web Server".

3. Run the administrative server on node1.

4. From your web browser, connect to the administrative server as http://node1.domain:port.

   For example, http://phys-schost-1.eng.sun.com:8888, or whatever you specified as the admin server port. The port is typically 8888.

5. Install the certificate on node1.

6. Stop the administrative server on node1, and run the admin server from node2.

7. From the web browser, connect to the new admin server as http://node2.domain:port.

   For example, http://phys-schost-2.eng.sun.com:8888.

8. Repeat these steps for the remaining nodes.

9. Proceed to "How to Configure an iPlanet Web Server".
