  1. Copy the Server Certificate to your clipboard. You must include the "----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" lines:

  2. Paste the certificate into a PLAIN (ASCII) text editor and ensure that the entire text is flushed to the left with no leading or trailing white space.

  3. Make sure that your web server has SSL capabilities. It should say "SSL" in the Status window on the server, and have an SSL Security item in the list of Settings in WebSTAR Admin.

  4. To install an SSL server, you may need to install WebSTAR from the distribution CD.

  5. Make sure the Status window is open on the server machine.

  7. Each IP address uses a different certificate. You can have certificates for several of these addresses, but one IP address can only have a single certificate.

  8. Select the item for the IP address which corresponds to the host name of the current Certificate.

    On the Security popup menu, select SSL 2 and SSL 3.

  9. Use the Certificate Choose button to select the certificate file you have saved in your host root folder described in Generate a Key.

  10. Use the Private Key File Choose button to select the private key file saved in your host root folder, described in Downloading Your Certificate.

  12. Click the Save button.
