Install SSL Certificate: BEA WebLogic Server 10

Follow these instructions to install your GeoTrust SSL certificate for your Web site.

Note: previous versions of Weblogic required certificates to be in binary DER format. In Weblogic 10 text-based PEM format is preferred (this is the format sent to you in the certificate fulfillment email).

Import and Install the GeoTrust Root CA Certificate

  1. First, copy and save the GeoTrust CA root certificate using a simple text editor such as Notepad on your local or network file system as geotrustroot.crt. The GeoTrust CA root certificate is available from your SSL Manager account. Login at https://secure.geocerts.com and click the My Certs tab.
  2. Using the java keytool command line utility, import the geotrustroot.crt CA certificate using the following command: keytool -import -alias geotrustca -keystore /path_to_keystore/mykeystore -file geotrustroot.crt. The command should be typed on one line. This command imports the root certificate into the keystore named mystore.
  3. You will be asked: Trust this certificate? [no]: y

Import and Install the SSL Server Certificate

  1. Copy and save the SSL server certificate (sent to you in the certificate fulfillment email) using a simple text editor such as Notepad anywhere on your local or network file system as yourdomain.crt.
  2. Using the java keytool command line utility, import the yourdomain.crt certificate using the following command: keytool -import -alias tomcat -keystore /path_to_keystore/mykeystore -file yourdomain.crt The command should be typed on one line. This command imports the certificate into the keystore named mykeystore in the path_to_keystore directory. Your keystore path and name may be different.
  3. Both the GeoTrust root CA and SSL server certificate are now installed on your server. The keystore can be configured through the WebLogic Server Administration Console or specified on the command line. Use the Configuration > Keystore page in the WebLogic Server Administration Console to configure identity and trust keystores for WebLogic Server. See Configuring Keystores in the Administration Console online help.
  4. Restart the WebLogic server.
