Obtain an externally signed SSL certificate
Most users want to create an externally signed SSL certificate. For e-commerce,
an externally signed SSL certificate is required.
To do this, the RaQ 4 Administrator must perform the following steps. These
steps are explained in the following pages.
1. enable the SSL feature on a virtual site (see page 119)
2. generate a self-signed certificate (see page 120)
3. submit the information from the self-signed certificate to an external
certification authority (see page 123)
4. receive the response and information from the external certification authority
(see page 124)
5. in the SSL settings screen on the RaQ 4, replace the self-signed certificate
with the information received from the externally signed certificate (see
page 124)
6. save the changes on the RaQ 4
Enable SSL on a virtual site
☞
Important: The RaQ 4 Administrator can enable SSL on only one
name-based virtual site per IP address. The UI does not allow the
administrator to enable SSL on a second name-based virtual site
that shares the same IP address.
✍
Note: Only the RaQ 4 Administrator can modify the virtual site
settings. For Site Administrators who are not the RaQ 4
Administrator, the SSL Settings section is a read-only status page.
