SSL Certificates Installation Instruction - Novell Console One

To install a Certificate on Novell ConsoleOne follow the instructions below:

a. Fetch your certificate

1.You will receive an email when your certificate is issued.
2.Select the 'Standard certificate' format option to download your issued certificate.
5.Copy and Paste your certificate (first certificate) to a text editor (Notepad) and save the file with a .crt extension.
6. Copy and Paste the Intermediate Certificate (second certificate) to a text editor (Notepad) and save the file with a .crt extension.

b. Install your certificate

Import the intermediate CA Certificate into Internet Explorer. Do this by double clicking on the certificate and choosing import. Make sure you import into the correct store: Intermediate CA store.

Double click the intermediate root and go to the details tab, then click on Copy to File. Next, Select "Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard - PKCS #7 Certificates (.P7B)" and select the "Include all certificates in the certification path if possible" check box. Give it a file name for example "myCAcert". This step will put the Trusted Root, Intermediate Root, and End Server Certificate certificates into one certificate.

Go to Console One and to the certificate that created the Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Go to the Public Key Certificate Tab. Select Import, select "No Trusted Root Certificate available", and then next. Import the intermediate root that you created above (.p7b).

Test your certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive (e.g. https://your server/) to indicate you wish to use secure HTTP.

Note: The padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
