Install a SSL Certificate to ensure your data and transactions are safe

Depending on which web server you have will depend on how you will Install SSL Certificate.

Each server has very different installation procedures.

For example, installing an SSL certificate in Apache, which is the most common HTTP server on the internet, involves just a few steps.

• The first thing is to download your primary and intermediate certificate file from your customer account, placing it in the directory you plan to keep your key files and certificate. These should be readable by root only.
• The virtual site file needs to be located. The location and name of the file may vary from server to server, if you are using a special interface to manage server configuration.
• Next you need to identify the virtual site to be configured for SSL. For a site to be both secure (https) and not secure (http) a virtual host for each type of connection is needed. You will need to make a copy of the un-secured host and configure it for SSL. If you only need a secure website then you would only configure the existing host for SSL.
• The virtual site needs to be configured for SSL. Once your virtual site has been configured save the configuration file and restart Apache.

This is just the basics of Apache. There are many other web server types besides Apache. There is Barracuda, Java (Generic and Tomcat), Lotus, and Microsoft UC, to name a few.
