Install SSL Certificate: BEA WebLogic Server 8

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

Note: certificates come in two file formats: text (base 64, pem) and binary (der). If you are installing the certificates on anything other than a Sun system you will need the binary format, also known as DER. The DER versions of your server certificate and CA root certificate are available from your SSL Manager account. Login at https://secure.geocerts.com and click the My Certs tab.

Import and Install the GeoTrust Root CA Certificate

  1. First, download (see note above regarding binary access) and save the GeoTrust CA root certificate on your local or network file system as geotrustroot.crt
  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. Download (see note above regarding binary access) and save the SSL server certificate 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 working 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. You will need to open the WebLogic Server Console and drill down to Security > Keystores > DefaultKeyStore and fill in the paths, file name, and various passwords for your private key, root CA certificate, and keystore locations.
  4. Restart the WebLogic server.
