Installing your SSL Certificate / Web Server Certificate / Secure Server Certificate from ssl247.co.uk

Firstly when your issuance email arrives you will have two certificates in the email - your server certificate and a UTN chained certificate.

Copy the UTN chained certificate into a text editor such as notepad and save as chain.crt.
Copy your web server certificate into a text editor such as notepad and save as yourdomain.txt.

Install the server certificate as described in the Cobalt manual.

1. Open the Site Management console to manage your web site
2. Select the CERTIFICATE box containing the self-signed certificate and delete this content. It will be replaced with the real certificate from ssl247.co.uk -
3. Copy the GeoTrust Certificate contents from the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- up to and including the -----END CERTIFICATE----- and PASTE this into the CERTIFICATE box
4. Select “Use manually entered certificate” at the bottom and SAVE CHANGES. Be careful not to click SAVE CHANGES more than once!
5. Restart or Reboot the Apache server
6. Be sure to backup your "Certificate" and its matching "private key"

   For the admin server:
   /home/sites/home/certs/certificate
   /home/sites/home/certs/key

   For a virtual server with associated site number:
   /home/sites/site##/certs/certificate
   /home/sites/site##/certs/key

Install the UTN chained certificate

Access the httpd.conf file. You will need to telnet into your webserver and complete the following:

1. Copy the UTN chained certificate text file to the same directory as the httpd.conf file.
2. Add the following line to the httpd.conf file. If the line already exists then you must amend it to the following:

SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/chain.crt

Note: If you are using a different location and certificate file names you will need to change the path and filename to reflect your server.
