Install your Trustwave SSL certificate Install your Trustwave SSL certificate
Log into the Ensim web interface as the Site Administrator, and pick the site which you want to manage. Once you've chosen the site which needs an SSL certificate, click "Services".

Then, click on the "Actions" pencil icon next to "Apache Web Server" and choose "SSL Settings" from the top option bar.

You will see a key, request, and self-signed certificate on the page at this point. Now, open the ZIP file that you received from us and extrace the .cer file. Open that .cer file in a suitable text editor, such as notepad. Copy the entire text - including the top and bottom dashed lines.

Within Ensim, click "Import" and then paste in the certificate which you just copied to the clipboard. Click "Save", and then logout of the web interface.

To complete this step, you will need SSH access to your server and root privileges.

First, you will need to find your virtual site's configuration file. This isn't easy, as the configuration files are named site1, site2, site3, etc. Open each site file in a text editor until you find the one that matches the host requiring SSL. When you find the right configuration file, you may want to note the site's number for later use.

Within the virtual site configuration file, find the lines which begin with SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile. Immediately following those two lines, add a line which looks like the following:

SSLCACertificateFile /home/virtual/site#/fst/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/xroot.crt

IMPORTANT: Due to text-wrapping, the above configuration line may appear on two lines. In your configuration file, this must all be in one line - not two.

Now, retrieve the xroot.crt file from the ZIP file which we e-mailed to you when your certificate was issued. Place that file into the following directory:

/home/virtual/site#/fst/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/xroot.crt

Just in case something is wrong in the configuration file, we recommend backing up your site file so that you can switch back quickly if there is a problem.

To complete the installation, simply restart Apache.
