texte = In a nutshell...1. Determine the host for which you want SSL. For example, www.myDomain.com or store.myDomain.com. Remember that the SSL cert is tied to one host only. If you get an SSL certificate for store.mydomain.com, you will not be able to do a secure connection to a page in www.myDomain.com without getting another certificate. 2. Generate a private key and CSR (Certificate Signing Request) for this host using WebStar's CSR Utility located in Tools & Examples:SSL Tools. 3. Apply for a Secure Server Certificate from Verisign (or alternative). You'll need the CSR that you generated as part of the application process. Hint: If using Verisign, you may want to just get their $349 40-bit cert rather than their $895 128-bit cert since the 40-bit cert encrypts at 128-bit with most modern browsers anyway, and WebStar is not compatible with the intermediate cert used with their 128-bit cert. 4. Receive your Cert from Verisign. Place your Certificate file and your Private Key file in your host root folder. 5. Make sure you're running an SSL-capable version of WebStar. If you are, (SSL) should appear in the WebStar status window. 6. Using the WebStar Admin utility, select SSL Security. In that window, select the IP address that corresponds to your host, select SSL2 and SSL3 from the pop-up, use the choose button to select the Certificate and Private Key saved in your host root folder, type in your Private Key Password, select the SSL encryption options you want to support and hit SAVE. 7. To test it, try to access a page of your site using the form: https://www.mydomain.com/myfile.tpl, for example. If everything is set up properly, you should get the locked padlock icon (or other indication) in your browser window.The WebStar documentation is pretty thorough, so I'd recommend reading over it for a more detailed explanation.Hope this helps, Brian>can someone explain the process of setting up ssl on my Webstar Server 4.x >(Mac G4).------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
