In the role of administrator of
Enterprise Server, you need to install the SSL server certificate so that remote client software and Web users can request it. Installing a
certificate entails storing the certificate and key file in a folder accessible to the server software.
Note: Demo CA is only for development and testing purposes. It is not supported or secure for use in production systems.
To install a server certificate:
- Connect to ES Admin, for example by typing
http://localhost:86 in your Web browser.
- Select the enterprise server you want, such as ESDEMO. Stop it if it is started, and then click
Edit.
- Go to the
Listeners page.
- Select the HTTPS listener that you want, if you cannot see the one you want, set the
Process filter to
All, and the click
Edit
.
- If
Secure Sockets Layer is not checked, check it and configure this listener as a secure listener.
- Enter the full pathnames of your server certificate and private key in the
Certificate and
Keyfile fields. For example:
DemoCA-dir/entities/hostname-dir/srvcert_CertChain.pem
DemoCA-dir/entities/hostname-dir/svrcert_privkey.pem
where
DemoCA-dir is the absolute path of the directory you specified to Demo CA when creating certificates and keys, and
hostname-dir is the directory under entities named for your system.
- Click
OK.
