WebSTAR 4

Installing your SSL Certificate / Web Server Certificate / Secure Server Certificate from RapidSSL.com

Your certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the web server certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message. Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a text editor (such as notepad) to create text files. Save the file as yourdomain.txt.

1. Go to the WebSTAR ADMIN utility.
2. Open Server Settings under Edit.
3. Select SSL Security.
4. Select your server IP address on the upper panel - the IP address must belong to the host name for which you are going to use your certificate.
5. Select SSL2&SSL3 on the lower panel in the Security Drop Down Menu.
6. Click the Choose button to select your yourdomain.txt file location under SSL Certificate File.
7. Click the Choose button to select its matching private key file location under Private Key File. You will have generated this private when you generated your initial CSR.
8. Type your private key password.
9. Select all encryption options, except MAC (No Encryption).
10. Save and then exit the utility.

Test your certificate by connecting to your server.
