Installing a Certificate for an HTTPS Cluster
To support secure connections to an HTTPS cluster, you need to install a secure server
certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA) such as VeriSign or Thawte.
Equalizer supports server certificates issued by Trusted Root Certificate Authorities as well
as certificates issued by Certificate Authorities that do not have their own Trusted Root CA
certificates. If your certificate is issued by a C A that does not have it’s own Trusted Root
CA certificate, you need to install both your server certificate and a chained root certificate
for the CA. (For more information about chained certificates, see http://www.freessl.com/
faq.html#8.)
To install a certificate:
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration interface with edit access.
2. In the left frame, click the name of the HTTPS cluster for which you want install a
certificate. The Cluster Parameters are displayed in the right frame. If no certificate is
installed for the cluster, a warning message is displayed above the cluster parameters
indicating that you must install a certificate to activate the cluster.
3. Select Install Certificate from the local menu in the Cluster Parameters frame. The
Install Certificate dialog is displayed in the right frame.
