How to install a SSL Certificate for Zeus Servers


Step 1: Obtain Intermediate CA Certificate

  • Copy the Intermediate CA certificate from your Secure128 portal under “Order Details”.
  • Be sure there are 5 dashes to either side of the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and that no white spaces, extra line breaks or additional characters have been inadvertently added.

Step 2: Download your SSL Certificate

  • The SSL certificate will be sent by email or it can be found within your Secure128 portal. The certificate is included as an attachment (Cert.cer) and it is also imbedded in the body of the email.
  • Copy and paste the certificate into a text file using Vi or Notepad and save as my.pub.
  • The text file should look like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- [encoded data] -----END CERTIFICATE-----

  • Make sure there are 5 dashes to either side of the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and that no white spaces, extra line breaks or additional characters have been inadvertently added.
  • Save the file along with the Intermediate file into a directory on the server. For example: /usr/local/ssl

Step 3: Install the SSL Certificate

  • Creating a chained certificate is a matter of performing a few command line operations to 'cat' or combine your public certificate and the Symantec Intermediate certificate together.

NOTE: These operations cannot currently be performed from the web Admin Interface. In an example, if your public certificate is in the file 'my.pub' and the Intermediate certificate is in the file 'Intermediate.pub', type the following command: cat my.pub intermediate.pub > chained.pub

  • Open the Zeus Web Controller. For example: http://server:9090
    • Click SSL Certificates from the left-hand menu
  • Open the chained.pub file that was created earlier and copy all of the text. Paste this into the certificate text box.
    • Click OK

Verify your Certificate is installed correctly
