Purpose: SSL/TLS certificate installation guide
For Sun Java System Web Server


Skip to Installation.

Before you begin...

• Never share private key files. 

• If you plan on using the same certificate on multiple servers always transfer the private key using a secure method (e-mail is not considered a secure method of transfer).

• Make sure you run the SSL Server Test at the end of the installation process to check your certificate configuration against SSL/TLS Best Practices.
