Installing your Certificate on a IBM HTTP Server
Using IKEYMAN for Certificate Installation
In addition to the certificate for your server, Network Solutions send an Intermediate CA Certificate (the Network Solutions certificate) and Root CA Certificate (AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt, UTNAddTrustServer_CA.crt Certificates). Before installing the server certificate, install both of these certificates. Follow the instructions in 'Storing a CA certificate'.
Note: If the authority who issues the certificate is not a trusted CA in the key database, you must first store the CA certificate and designate the CA as a trusted CA. Then you can receive your CA-signed certificate into the database. You cannot receive a CA-signed certificate from a CA who is not a trusted CA. For instructions see 'Storing a CA certificate'.

- Enter IKEYMAN on a command line on UNIX, or start the Key Management utility in the IBM HTTP Server folder on Windows.
