Creating Site Credentials

To Install Site Credentials on a Sun WebServer Machine

1. The directories where the site's credentials are stored need to be copied to the Sun WebServer machine.

   If the Root CA machine and the Sun WebServer machine are the same, skip this step.

   You can move the directory to a floppy disk or other portable medium, or you can share the directory with the Sun WebServer machine over NFS.

   In either case, copy the directory you specified for the output of setup_creds and all of its subdirectories. The directory should contain:

   • certs/IP_Address.CERT

   • keypkgs/IP_Address.KEYPKG

   where IP_Address is the address used by the web site.

2. As root on the Sun WebServer machine, run /usr/http/bin/install_certs.

   You will need to specify the path to the credentials, the IP address of the web site, and the user ID (uid) of the Sun WebServer process. For example

   # /usr/http/bin/install_certs -p /floppy/cert_floppy -i \ 121.122.123.12 0

3. Enter the key package password for this web site.

   This is the password specified in Step Step 8 in "Creating Credentials".

   /usr/bin/skilogin: Enter host key package password

   The credentials are now stored on the Sun WebServer machine. Follow the next procedure to configure the web site to use SSL.
