[BlueOnyx:18132] Re: Activate SSL on BlueOnyx

It works the same for all SSL certificates:

Go to "Site Management", click on the site, then "SSL" from the lefthand
menu.

That's where you handle the SSL certificate for that Vsite.

The usual steps are:

1.) Create Signing Request and tick the checkbox for "self signed cert"
- if you want one until you get the real SSL certificate.

That will generate a self signed certificate and a CSR (certificate
signing request). You can then download the CSR and can take it to any
SSL certificate vendor. Like RapidSSL or any other.

2.) Your SSL certificate vendor takes your CSR and sends you a
legitimate SSL certificate back. Plus (depending on the vendor) you
might get one or more "intermediate certificates".

You can upload all of these in the BlueOnyx GUI to the site in question
(at the location mentioned above).

3.) Intermediates (only if you got some):

Check that textfile. It should contain only one certificate. If it
contains more than one, split the textfile into separate files. One for
each intermediate certificate. How you name these files is not
important. But give them the ending .txt or .crt.

In the GUI click on "Manage Certificate Authorities" and upload the
intermediates one by one. Which name you give them in the GUI does not
matter.

4.) Upload the SSL certificate:

Click on the "Import" button to upload the actual SSL certificate.

That's basically all.
