Installation Instructions- IBM WebSphere 5.1 server

This document provides instructions for installing SSL Certificates. If you are unable to use these instructions for your server, VeriSign recommends that you contact either the vendor of your software or an organisation that supports IBM WebSphere 5.1.

Step 1: Install CA Certificate

Secure Site

If you are installing a Secure Site Certificate, you need to first install the Secure Site Intermediate CA Certficate.

Secure Site Pro

If you are installing a Secure Site Pro Certificate, you need to first install the Secure Site Pro Intermediate CA Certficate .

Note to ISP Center Customers: Certificates enrolled through VeriSign's ISP Center do not need the Secure Site Intermediate CA Certificate installed at this time.

1. Start the key management utility (iKeyman)
2. Open the key database file that was used to create the certificate request.
3. Enter the password, and then click OK.
4. Select Signer Certificates and then click Add.
5. Click 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.
6. Click 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 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.

1. Start the key management utility (iKeyman)
2. Open the key database file from which you want to generate the request.
3. Type the password, and then click OK.
4. Select Personal Certificates from the drop-down menu.
5. Click Receive.
6. Click 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.
7. Type the certificate file name and location for the new digital certificate, or click Browse to locate the CA-signed certificate.
