Installing the Server Certificate

In this section, as server administrator, you install the server certificate on the server so that remote Web users can request it. To install a certificate, you store the certificate and the key file in a folder accessible to your server software.

  1. Edit the new HTTPS Echo listener. To do this, select the new listener on the Listeners page and click Edit.
  2. Check Secure Sockets Layer.
  3. Enter the full path and filenames of your server certificate and private key in the Certificate and Keyfile fields. These are by default srvcert.pem and srvkey.pem, installed by default in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\DemoCA (Windows) or /opt/microfocus/DemoCA/openssl or $COBSSL (if set) (UNIX).
  4. Click OK.

    On the Listeners page, the entry for HTTP Echo now has a padlock symbol, which shows that it uses SSL.
