Instructions to create the PKCS #7 as follows:
- When issued, you will be sent your webserver certificate in the body of the email.
Copy the contents of this certificate to notepad - including the BEGIN and END header
and footer - and save and name this certificate "yourdomain.crt")
Download the root.crt - you will also need this certificate.
Place the yourdomain.crt and root.crt to somewhere handy like your desktop.
- Right click the root.crt file and select "Import Certificate" - a Certificate
Import Wizard will begin. When the wizard step called "Certificate Store"
appears select to "Place all certificates in the following store". Click
browse and select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities". Click Next
until the wizard is complete.
- Double click yourdomain.crt and click the details tab, then click Copy to File -
a Certificate Export Wizard will begin. Next, Select "Cryptographic Message
Syntax Standard - PKCS #7 Certificates (.P7B)" and select the "Include
all certificates in the certification path if possible" check box. Give it
a file name for example "c:\mycert". This step will put the Trusted Root
and End Server Certificate certificates into one certificate.
- Go to Console One and to the certificate that created the Certificate Signing Request
(CSR). Go to the Public Key Certificate Tab. Select Import, select "No Trusted
Root Certificate available", and then next. Import the Server Certificate that
you created above.
Note: If you experience a "Not Present" value in properties of SSL Certificate
object error, then please refer to the Novell knowledge base article http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10066218.htm
for information on the fix for this error.
Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https
protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure
HTTP.
Note: The padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position
if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured
for SSL.
