Installation Instructions- Zeus

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 Zeus.

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 Certificate.

Secure Site Pro

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

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. Copy the contents of the Intermediate to a file and save it as intermediate.pub. The file can be saved somewhere easy to access. For example: /usr/local/ssl

Step 2: Install the SSL Certificate

VeriSign will email you 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.

  1. Save the certificate file from VeriSign along with the Intermediate file into a directory on the server. For example: /usr/local/ssl
  2. Creating a chained certificate is a matter of performing a few command line operations to 'cat' or combine your public certificate and the VeriSign Intermediate certificate together. These operations cannot currently be performed from the web Admin Interface. In an example, if your public certificate is in the file 'my.pub' and the VeriSign Intermediate certificate is in the file 'ca.pub', type the following command:  
     
    cat my.pub ca.pub > chained.pub 
  3. Open the Zeus Web Controller. For example: http://server:9090
  4. From the left-hand menu click SSL Certificates
  5. Open the chained.pub file that was created earlier and copy all of the text. Paste this into the certificate text box.
  6. Click Ok
