Install SSL Certificate BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 with EV

Important! In order for your EV SSL Certificate to function properly, you must install two (2) GeoTrust EV Intermediate CA Certificates on your Web server in addition to the EV server certificate. To avoid any issue with installation, please ensure that you complete ALL steps below.

Step 1: Install the GeoTrust Extended Validation CA Root

Copy the GeoTrust Extended Validation SSL CA into Notepad or Vi (do not use Word) and save it in the same directory where your keystore was created as EV_root.cer.
Use the following command to import this certificate in the keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias EV_root -keystore [your_keystore_filename] -file EV_root.cer

Step 2: Install the GeoTrust Extended Validation Intermediate CA Certificate

Copy the GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority into Notepad or Vi (do not use Word) and save it in the same directory where your keystore was created as EV_intermediate.cer.
Use the following command to import this certificate in the keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias EVIntermediate -keystore [your_keystore_filename] -file EV_intermediate.cer

Step 3: Install the SSL Certificate

Your SSL server certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the server certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message. It will be labled "Server Certificate (public key)". It is also downloadable from your SSL Manager account (recommended). Copy the certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a simple text editor, such as Vi or Notepad (do not use MS Word).
Save it in the same directory where your keystore was created as public.cer.
Use the following command to import this certificate in the keystore:
keytool -import -alias [your_alias_name] -keystore [your_keystore_filename] -file public.cer
NOTE: The alias name in this command must be the same as the alias name used during the generation of the private key and CSR
