Installing your Certificate on an IBM HTTP Server

Using IKEYMAN for Certificate Installation

In addition to the certificate for your server, Comodo sends an Intermediate CA Certificate (the Comodo certificate) and a Root CA Certificate (GTE CyberTrust). Before installing the server certificate, install both of these certificates. Follow the instructions found in 'Storing a CA certificate'.

Note: If the authority who issues the certificate is not a trusted CA in the key database, you must first store the CA certificates and designate the CA as a trusted CA. Then you can receive your CA-signed certificates in the database. You cannot receive a CA-signed certificates from a CA who is not a trusted CA. For instructions, see 'Storing a CA certificate'.

Storing CA Certificates:

• Enter IKEYMAN on a command line on UNIX, or start the Key Management utility in the IBM HTTP Server folder on Windows.
• Select Key Database File from the main User Interface, then select Open.
• In the Open dialog box, select your key database name. Click OK.
• In the Password Prompt dialog box, enter your password and click OK.
• Select Signer Certificates in the Key Database content frame, then click the Add button.
• In the Add CA Certificate from a File dialog box, select the certificate to add, or use the Browse option to locate the certificate. Click OK.
• In the Label dialog box, enter a label name and click OK.

To receive the CA-signed certificates into a key database:

• Enter IKEYMAN on a command line on UNIX, or start the Key Management utility in the IBM HTTP Server folder on Windows.
• Select Key Database File from the main User Interface, then select Open.
• In the Open dialog box, select your key database name. Click OK.
• In the Password Prompt dialog box, enter your password, then click OK.
• Select Personal Certificates in the Key Database content frame, then click the Receive button.
• In the Receive Certificate from a File dialog box, select the certificate file. Click OK.

Note: IBM has prepared a special guide called "Global Certificate Usage with OS/390 Webservers."
