Getting Server SSL Certificates for Netscape Servers
Chapter 24 Issuing and Managing Server Certificates 805
Step 5. Verify Your Server’s SSL and CA Certificates
Before activating your server for SSL connections, you can verify whether you have
installed your server's SSL and CA certificates correctly.
1.
Open a web browser window.
2.
Go to the Administration Server, and use the Server Selector to access the
Server Manager for your server.
3.
Follow the directions there to get to the area that allows you to manage your
server’s certificates.
4.
Scroll to the bottom of the list to find the SSL and CA certificate chain you
installed (identified by the nicknames you specified).
If you find both of them, your server is ready for SSL configuration. If not, you
must go through the steps again to correctly install whichever certificate is
missing.
Getting Certificates for Netscape Version 4.x
Servers
For Netscape version 4.x servers, you can use the Certificate Setup Wizard
provided by Netscape Console to get new certificates, renew existing certificates,
and install certificates in the database of a server. For information about this
wizard, see Managing Servers with Netscape Console. To locate an online version of
this book, open the
<server_root>/manual/index.html
file.
Note that there are two ways in which you can submit the certificate signing
request to Certificate Management System:
• Submit the request (which is in the form of a base-64 encoded blob) directly
from the wizard; in this method, you need not copy the request to a text file.
• Submit the request manually by pasting the request (which is in the form of a
base-64 encoded blob) in to the Certificate Manager’s server enrollment form;
in this method, you need to copy the request when the wizard displays it.
When the wizard generates the certificate signing request for the key size and type
you specified, you’re presented with the opportunity to choose how you want to
submit the request to the CA. The choices include the following:
