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 3 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 100)
2. generate a self-signed certificate (see page 102)
3. submit the information from the self-signed certificate to an
external certification authority (see page 106)
4. receive the response and information from the external certification
authority (see page 106)
5. in the SSL settings screen on the RaQ 3, replace the self-signed
certificate with the information received from the externally signed
certificate (see page 106)
6. save the changes on the RaQ 3
Enable SSL on a virtual site
IMPORTANT: You can enable SSL on only one name-based
virtual site on an IP address. Only the RaQ 3 Administrator can
enable SSL on a virtual site.
You can only enable SSL encryption on one name-based virtual site per
IP address. The UI does not allow you to enable SSL on a second
name-based virtual site that shares the same IP address.
Only the RaQ 3 Administrator can enable SSL on a virtual site; a Site
Administrator who is not the RaQ 3 Administrator cannot enable SSL.
