Installation Instructions for BEA WebLogic 8.1

This document provides instructions for installing SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, VeriSign recommends that you contact your software vendor or an organisation that supports BEA WebLogic 8.1.

Premium and Intranet Edition SSL Certificates

If you are installing a Managed PKI for SSL Premium Edition or a Managed PKI for SSL Intranet Certificate, you need to first install the intermediate CA (‘intermediate.crt’) provided by your administrator. Place the text file in the same directory as your SSL Certificate. For example: /usr/local/ssl/crt

Managed PKI for SSL Administrators: how to find your Intermediate CA.

Step 1: Create Keystores

Private keys, digital certificates and trusted CA certificates are stored in keystores so that WebLogic Server can use them to find and verify identity. Use the Keystore Configuration section of the Keystores and SSL page of the WebLogic Server Administration Console to configure identity and trust keystores or specify them on the command-line.

Step 2: Install the SSL Certificate

Once your administrator has approved your request you will receive an email from VeriSign that contains your certificate. If the certificate is an attachment (Cert.cer), you can use the file. If the certificate is in the body of the email, copy and paste it into a text file (such as OriginalCert.txt) using Vi or Notepad. Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs that may add characters. Confirm that there are no extra lines or spaces in the file.

To import the SSL Certificate run the following command:

keytool -import -alias aliasforprivatekey -file privatekeyfilename.pem -keypass privatekeypassword -keystore keystorename -storepass keystorepassword
