SSL Certificate Installation in BEA Weblogic

Installing your BEA Weblogic SSL Digital Certificate

1) Once you have received your Certificate files from DigiCert, open a text editor and paste the contents of each certificate one after another in the following order:

1. The Primary Certificate (your_domain_name.crt)
2. The Intermediate Certificate (DigiCertCA.crt)
3. The Root Certificate (TrustedRoot.crt)

Make sure that you include the beginning and end tags on each certificate. The result should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Root certificate: TrustedRoot.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Save the combined file as digicertpack.pem

2) Copy both the Private Key and the digicertpack.pem files into the \wlserver6.0\config\mydomain directory.

3) Assign protections to the private key file and the digicertpack.pem files so that only the system User of WebLogic Server has read privileges and all other users have no privileges to access the private key file or digital certificate(s).

4) Defining Trusted Certificate Authorities:

Using a text editor, paste the contents of the Root Certificate (TrustedRoot.crt) to the end of the contents of the Intermediate Certificate (DigiCertCA.crt). Save the new file as chained.pem

Copy chained.pem into the \wlserver6.0\config\mydomain directory of your WebLogic Server.

5) Configure WebLogic Server to use the SSL Protocol:

You need to enter the following information on the SSL tab in the Server Configuration window:

• In the Server Certificate File Name field, enter the full directory location and name of the digital certificate for WebLogic Server (digicertpack.pem).
  
• In the Trusted CA File Name field, enter the full directory location and name of the digital certificate for combined certificate file (chained.pem).
  
• In the Server Key File Name field, enter the full directory location and name of the private key file for WebLogic Server.
  
• Make sure that SSL is enabled.
  
• Set the SSL Listen Port to 443
  
• Client Certificate Enforced should not be checked for most situations
