Installing an SSL certificate on IBM-Lotus Domino Go 4.6.2.6+

Part one: Download and save certificates

  1. Open the email we sent you, that contains the certificate for your domain name.

  2. Copy the certificate, including the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- lines.

  3. Paste the certificate into a blank document in a text editor. Use an editor that will not add characters, such as TextPad.

  4. Save the document. We recommend that you name it YourDomainName.crt and save it in your Web server's default directory for SSL certificates.

    We recommend that you also back up your certificate on another computer or storage device.

  5. Confirm which certificate you purchased, and determine which set of Root and Intermediate certificates to download.

    To confirm which certificate you purchased, review your order confirmation.

    • If you purchased SBS Instant, download set A below.

    • If you purchased SBS Secure or Secure Plus, download set B below.

    A -- SBS Instant

    -OR-

    B -- SBS Secure and Secure Plus with a "Valid from" date Nov 9, 2006 or later

  6. Download the Root-Intermediate set for your domain name certificate. To download, right-click each certificate file name and select Save Target As.

    Save the Root and Intermediate certificates to the same directory where you saved the certificate for your domain name.

Part two: Install the Root and Intermediate Certificates

  1. From the directory where your certificates are stored, start the MKKF utility by typing mkkf and clicking Enter.

  4. Enter the file name of this certificate to label it for future maintenance.
  5. Press Enter to continue.
  6. Select W to work with Keys and Certificates.
  7. Select L to List/Select the key to work with.

  11. Press Enter to return to the previous menu.
  12. Select X to exit the menu.
