Install your Trustwave SSL certificate Install your Trustwave SSL certificate
When your certificate is issued, look for the .cer file in the ZIP file that you receive. That file contains your certificate in PEM format. You will also need the xroot.crt file that is included in the ZIP file - this file contains your intermediate certificates.

Open a browser and go to the web interface for your Cobalt RAQ/XTR. From the "Server Management" screen, you will need to choose the configuration icon for the site which you are securing. For Cobalt RAQ's, this icon is a wrench. For Cobalt XTR's, this icon is a pencil.

When the next menu appears, choose "SSL Settings". Open your .cer file in notepad (or another suitable text editor) and copy the entire file - including the top and bottom dashed lines. Paste your certificate into the box provided under the blue banner which reads "Certificate". Choose "Use manually entered certificate" from the drop-down menu below where you pasted the certificate. Click "Save Changes" and wait for the menu to reappear.

Install the intermediate certificates Install the intermediate certificates
To complete this step, you will need to telnet into your Cobalt RAQ/XTR. Log on as admin, and type su and press enter. Enter your root password and then copy the Trustwave intermediates (xroot.crt) to the server. We recommend putting the intermediates in the /etc/ssl/crt/ folder so that it will be with your other certificates.

To install the intermediates, you will need to edit your Apache configuration file. Generally, your configuration file is /etc/httpd/httpd.conf but it may be different if you have a special configuration. Once you've opened the file in a text editor, find your virtual host configuration. Add the following line to your configuration:

SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/xroot.crt

When the installation is complete, your virtual host should have the following lines:

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile <path to your certificate>
SSLCertificateKeyFile <path to your private key>
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/xroot.crt

Completing the installation Completing the installation
To finalize the installation, save the configuration file that you edited and then restart Apache. On most RAQ's, this is done by running the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart.
