Purpose: SSL/TLS certificate installation guide
For Lotus Domino

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.

Installing your Entrust SSL/TLS Certificate on a Lotus Domino Server

1. Click the Download button in the pickup wizard to download your certificate files. Clicking the download button will produce a zip file that includes your Server Certificate, the Entrust intermediate certificate and the Entrust Root certificate. Extract the files from the zip file.

You must install these certificates in such a way that the certificate chain is built starting from the root level. You must install the certificates in this exact order:

Root.crt
Intermediate.crt
ServerCertificate.crt

2. Open the Server Certificate Administration utility on the server.

3. Select Install Trusted Root into Key Ring .

4.  In the Key Ring File Name field, enter the name of the Key Ring file that you generated when you created your Certificate Signing Request. Under Certificate Source , select the File radio button and browse to the Root.crt file. If you get a message saying that this root is already installed, proceed to the next step.

5. For a second time, select Install Trusted Root into Key Ring and import the Intermediate.crt file into the same key ring.

6. Select Install Certificate into Key Ring .

8. In the Key Ring File Name field, enter the name of the Key Ring file that you generated when you created your Certificate Signing Request. Under Certificate Source , select the File radio button and browse to the ServerCertificate.crt file to complete the installation process.
