SSL Certificate Installation in IChain

Installing your Certificate in Novell Ichain 2.2 or 2.3

1) Download the Primary and Intermediate certificate files from your DigiCert account.

2) Copy and paste the contents of the Intermediate Certificate File (DigiCertCA.crt) to the 'CA Certificate Contents' Field as shown below.

3) Copy and paste the contents of your Primary Certificate File (your_domain_name.crt) to the 'Server Certificate Contents' Field as shown below.

1) Download the Primary, Intermediate, and Root certificate files from your DigiCert account.

2) You'll need to create a single SSL Certificate from the intermediate and root certificates. To do so, open a text editor (like NotePad), and paste in the contents of your intermediate certificate. Then paste in the contents of the root certificate. (In both cases, you must include the BEGIN and END tags.) Save this new certificate as Digicertbundle.pem

3) Now, go to ConsoleOne and open the ICS container for your iChain server, and open the certificate.

4) Under the Certificates tab, click on Import. Then choose Read from File, and find the new Digicertbundle.pem certificate you created.

5) Hit Next. Choose Read from File, and browse to your DigiCert SSL certificate (your_domain_name.crt), then click Finish.

If you get an error stating that the certificate's subject does not match the object's subject, do the following:

Accept the certificate.

On the iChain server click on Apply. This will install the certificate, but give you an error 1240. Now open the accelerator for the website you're securing. In the Certificate drop-down menu (in the Secure Exchange area), the certificate should be available. Select it, click OK and Apply.

Refresh the Management display if it does not do so automatically. The site is now secured.
