Creating a New Server Instance
118 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
This chapter focuses on setting up, installing, and managing the security
components necessary to secure your Enterprise Server. To activate the SSL
protocol for your Enterprise Server, you need to perform the various
procedures described in the following sections:
• Creating a New Server Instance
• Creating a Certificate Trust Database
• Requesting a Certificate
• Installing and Managing Certificates
• Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Creating a New Server Instance
To use SSL with Enterprise Server, you must either have an existing instance of
Enterprise Server 4.0 that you want to be an SSL server or create a new instance
to be an SSL server. If you have an existing instance of Enterprise Server that
you want to simply convert to be an SSL server, you can skip this section.
Otherwise, follow the steps described in this section to create a new instance of
Enterprise Server, and then perform the remaining procedures outlined in this
chapter to configure the new instance for SSL and client authentication.
To add another server instance, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Enterprise Administration Server and choose the Servers tab.
2.
Click the Add Server link.
3.
Enter the desired information for the specified fields.
