Installation Instructions for IBM WebSphere 5.1
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 IBM WebSphere 5.1.
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.
- Start
the key management utility (iKeyman)
- Open
the key database file was used to create the certificate request.
- Enter
the password, and then click on OK.
- Select Signer Certificates
and then click on Add.
- Click
on Data
type and select a data type such as Base64-encoded ASCII data.
This data type must match the data type of the importing certificate.
- Click
on Data
type and select the data type of the new digital certificate,
such as Base64-encoded ASCII data. Select the data type that matches
the CA-signed certificate. If the CA sends the certificate as part of
an email message, you may first need to cut and paste the certificate
into a separate file.
- Enter
a file name and location for the CA root digital certificate, or click
on Browse
to select a file name and location.
- Click
on OK.
- Enter
a label for the importing certificate.

Managed PKI for SSL Administrators: how to
find your Intermediate
CA.
Install the SSL Certificate
Once your Managed PKI for SSL 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 using Vi or Notepad.
Do not use Microsoft Word or other word processing programs that may
add characters.
- Start
the key management utility (iKeyman)
- Open
the key database file from which you wish to generate the request.
- Type
the password and then click on OK.
- Select Personal Certificates
from the drop-down menu.
- Click
on Receive.
- Click
on Data
type and select the data type of the new digital certificate,
such as Base64-encoded ASCII data. Select the data type that matches
the CA-signed certificate. If the CA sends the certificate as part of
an email message, you may need to cut and paste the certificate into
a separate text file.
- Type
the certificate file name and location for the new digital certificate,
or click on Browse to locate the CA-signed certificate.
- Click
on OK.
- Type
a label for the new digital certificate and click on OK. The personal certificate list displays the new label.
