The Novell Certificate Server requires the entire chain of trust (Server Certificate, and Trusted Root Certificate) in order to import certificates issued by an external CA.

  1. Open a Web browser and go to the URL that appears in the confirmation email you received from Entrust. Your certificates are displayed. The Entrust SSL Certificate is in the section named "Entrust SSL Certificate".

    Your certificate will look something like this:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

  2. Copy your certificate into a plain text editor and save the new file with a .crt extension ( ex. Servercertificate.crt)
  3. Go to http://www.entrust.net/developer/
  4. Click on the Download Root Certificates button below the table.
  5. Select Personal Use
  6. Copy the certificate in the box marked "Base 64 (text) format" to your clipboard. You must include the "----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----" and "----END CERTIFICATE----" lines.
  7. Open a plain text editor, such as Notepad, and paste the copied content.
  8. Save the file with a .crt extension (for example, entrustroot.crt) and close it.
  9. In ConsoleOne Double click on the Key Material object you used to create the CSR.
  10. Click on the import button.
  11. On the screen where it says "Paste your trusted root certificate here or read it from a file", click on the "Read from file" button and select the Entrustroot.crt file you created earlier.
  12. On the next screen it says "Paste your server certificate here or read it from a file", click on the "Read from file" button and select the Servercertificate.crt file you created earlier.
  13. Continue through the Wizard to Finish.

You should now have a usable Key Material object, and you can configure Novell Enterprise Web server to use it.
