Installing an SSL certificate on Zeus Web Server

Part one: Download and save your 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

   • Instant Validation SBS Intermediate 2 CA
   • Instant Validation AddTrust Intermediate 1 CA
   • Instant Validation UTN Global Root CA

   -OR-

   B -- SBS Secure and Secure Plus

   • Full Validation Intermediate CA
   • Full Validation Root CA

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: Build certificate chain and install your certificates

In order for visitors' browsers to recognize your certificate as authentic and trustworthy, you must install it with the Intermediate and Root certificates that tie it to its issuing Certification Authority.

1. Open your certificates in a text editor and copy the text from each certificate into the text editor to form one file (the certificate chain). The certificates should be pasted so that the certicate for your domain name is placed at the top and the Root certificate is at the bottom. For example, if you purchased SBS Instant, the order should be:

   YourDomainName.crt
   *Intermediate2CA.crt
   *Intermediate1CA.crt
   *UTN*GlobalRoot.crt

   The resulting file should have one CRLF between each certificate, and no added characters or whitespace:

   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
   Your Site Certificate text
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
   *Intermediate1CA text
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
   *Intermediate2CA text
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----
   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
   *UTN*GlobalRoot text
   -----END CERTIFICATE-----

2. Log on to the Web server.
3. Open Zeus Web Server.
4. In the left-hand menu, click SSL certificates.
5. In the Certificate Sets section, find the set name that you assigned when you generated the CSR. In that row, click the link in the Signing Actions column (it likely reads Replace certificate).
6. Copy and paste the text of your certificate chain into the Signed Certificate text box and click OK.
7. In the Verifying the New Certificate page, click Accept this Certificate.
8. To assign the certificate set to the Web site, click the Home icon.
9. In the Virtual Server Status section of the page, select the check box for your Web site and click Configure.
10. In the Current Configuration section, Item column, click SSL Enabled.
11. Enable SSL and select the certificate set name that you assigned when you generated the CSR.
12. Apply and commit the changes.
13. Stop and start the Web server.
