Send the certificate request file to the Certificate Authority.
When the Certificate Authority returns the actual certificate,
copy it to the directory created above.
After the Certificate Authority returns a certificate, install it on the server.
To install a certificate
1. Log in to the VTS server.
2. Become root:
su -
3. Configure the web server to use the new certificate, as follows:
a. Change directory to the web server configuration directory:
cd /etc/httpd/conf.d
b. Make a backup copy of the ssl.conf file:
cp ssl.conf ~
c. Edit ssh.conf, specifying your values:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/company_name/server_name.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/company_name/server_name.key
Note that some keys may also require that an SSLCertificateChainFile is installed.
Follow the instructions provided by the Certificate Authority to set this value.
4. Restart the web server:
service httpd restart
If the restart fails, you may need to reboot the VTS server.
5. Verify that the server has started and that the new certificate is being used. Open a new
browser, connect to the VTS server, and view the System Status page. This page should
display the new certificate's expiration date. Also, check your browser's certificate display
information.
