❍
If you selected Yes, the “Location of Certificate” screen appears (Step 8).
❍
If you selected No, you will be presented with the “Key-Pair Information
for SSL Server Certificate” screen (Step 11).
8.
Location of Certificate. Specify the location of the certificate. You can use one
of these options:
❍
If you noted the file path to the file that contains the certificate (in its base
64-encoded format), select the “The certificate is located in this file” option
and type the file path, including the filename, in the text field.
❍
If you copied the certificate (in its base 64-encoded format) to the
clipboard, select the “The certificate is located in the text area below”
option and paste the certificate (including the header and footer) in the text
area provided.
❍
If you want the wizard to retrieve the certificate from the remote CMS
manager to which you submitted the request, select the “The certificate is
at the CMS where the request was sent” option and supply the host name,
end-entity port number, and request ID.
Click Next to continue.
9.
Certificate Details. This is an informational screen that displays the certificate
so you can inspect its contents. Notice the nickname assigned to the certificate
and verify that you’re installing the correct certificate.
Click Next to continue.
10.
Import Certificate Chain. This screen appears only if you need to import the
CA certificate chain. Follow these steps to import the CA chain of a Certificate
Manager:
a.
Go back to the web browser window from which you copied the Online
Certificate Status Manager’s signing certificate (in its base-64 encoded
format).
b.
Scroll down to the part that says “Base 64 encoded certificate with CA
certificate chain in pkcs7 format” and shows the CA certificate chain in its
PKCS#7 format.
c.
Highlight all the encoded blob (including
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE
-----
and
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
), and copy it to the clipboard or
to a text file.
Be sure to not make any changes to the certificate. You’re required to paste
the encoded certificate into the Installation Wizard next. So, once you’ve
copied the certificate, go back to the wizard screen.
