Installation Instructions- Stronghold

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 Stronghold.

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. Paste the components into the file "ssl/certs/intermediate-ca.cert" located in your ServerRoot directory.
  2. Change the SSLCACertificateFile directive in your httpd.conf file to this: SSLCACertificateFile certs/intermediate-ca.cert

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. Run getca and specify both the name of the server that owns the ID and the name of the temporary certificate file. For example:  
     
    # getca hostname /tmp/cert.tmp  
  2. This saves the Secure Site Server ID & Commerce Site Server ID to the file SSLTOP/certs/hostname.cert Remove the temporary file. For example:  
     
    # rm/tmp/cert.tmp  
  3. Restart the server.
