Cobalt RAQ & XTR SSL Certificate Installation

If you have not yet created a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and ordered your certificate, see
SSL Certificates CSR Creation :: Cobalt Web Servers.

SSL Digital Certificate Installation on Cobalt

1) Installing your Primary Server Certificate (your_domain_name.crt):

1. In the Server Management screen, click on the Green icon (RaQ4 is a Wrench icon and XTR is a Pencil icon) for the site you are securing.
2. Choose SSL settings.
3. Copy your Primary Server Certificate (your_domain_name.crt) into the form. Make sure you copy the entire contents. Example:

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
   text ...
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

4. Select 'Use manually entered certificate' from the drop-down menu, and click 'Save Changes'.

   

2) Installing the Intermediate Certficate (DigiCertCA.crt):

1. With Apache you will install the Intermediate SSL Certificate (DigiCertCA.crt). Copy this file from your DigiCert account to your server.
Edit your httpd.conf file by adding the following line to the SSL section.

SSLCACertificateFile /your_directory_path/DigiCertCA.crt

This should make your config file look something like this (directories may vary on your server):

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:443> DocumentRoot /var/www/html2 ServerName www.yourdomain.com SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/your_domain_name.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/crt/your_private.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/DigiCertCA.crt < /VirtualHost>

 

3) Save your config file, and restart Apache.
