How do I install my own digital certificate?

The new modified Apache web server has made it possible for you to install your own digital certificate. This provides you with additional power to customize their own Virtual Server to meet their specific needs.

Please note you will need to contact support to have the SSL port (443) enabled on your account.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Place the SIGNED SSL certificate on your Virtual Server in the ~/etc directory with the filename as ssl.cert:
         ~/etc/ssl.cert
    
  2. Place the proper public key for the certificate in ~/etc directory with the filename as ssl.pk:
         ~/etc/ssl.pk
    
  3. Remove any encryption on your private key:
         % ssleay rsa -in ssl.pk -out ssl.pk
    
  4. Restart your apache
         % restart_apache
    
We will soon have scripts available to help automate these steps. Until then you can receive additional installation assistance by contacting support@BLUEHILL.com.

Additional information about Digital Certificates and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) can be found in the ecommerce section of our web site.
