In the GUI go to "Server Management" / "Security" / "SSL".

Do the "Create Signing Request" as you'd do for a virtual site. But this
is the certificate for the AdmServ, so it uses the server name.

If you create a self signed cert or install a "real" cert, then that
certificate is used both for the GUI and for SMTP.

Once the certificate is installed, you can test it this way:

openssl s_client -connect server.company.com:465

It'll show you if it works or not and you can see which certificate
information an email client would see.
