I have registered with godday and received a new certificate in a file called www.xxx.com. Now I need to import that certificate into a keyring that I have previously created, and I can not figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
Subject: importing SSL certificate
suggest you perform basic discovery before asking the forum …
setting up SSL is well documented in the Domino 8 Administrator help database [verbatim paste below]
The server certificate must contain the CA certificate as a trusted root. The trusted root allows servers and clients that have a common CA certificate to communicate. Before you merge a server certificate signed by a CA, merge the CA certificate into your key ring file as a trusted root.
From a third-party CA
View the default trusted roots in the key ring file to make sure the third-party CA’s certificate is not already included. If it is already included, you do not need to complete these steps.
For more information, see the topics Default Domino SSL trusted roots and Viewing SSL server certificates.
-
Make sure that you requested the server certificate and mapped a drive to the directory that contains the key ring file.
-
Browse to the Web site of the CA and obtain the CA’s trusted root certificate. In most cases, the trusted root certificate is in a file attachment, or the certificate is available for you to copy to the Clipboard.
-
From the Lotus Notes client, open the Server Certificate Admin application.
-
Click “Install Trusted Root Certificate into Key Ring.”
-
Enter the name of the key ring file that will store this certificate. You specified this name when you created the server certificate request.
-
Enter the name that the key ring file will use to identify this certificate. If you leave this field blank, Domino uses the distinguished name of the certificate.
-
Do one of the following:
If you copied the contents of the CA’s certificate to the Clipboard in Step 2, choose Clipboard in the Certificate Source field. Paste the Clipboard contents into the next field.
If you received a file that contained the CA’s certificate in Step 2, detach the file to your hard drive and select File in the Certificate Source field. Enter the file name in the File name field.
-
Click “Merge Trusted Root Certificate into Key Ring.”
-
Enter the password for the key ring file, and then click OK.
-
Have the CA complete the procedure “Signing server certificates.”

Subject: I did do some searching and did come up
with teh same help. However the problem is that I tell it to import from the file www.xxx.com and I get an error that says that it is an invalid file type. So thanks for the quote but I had already read it. Perhaps I requested the incorrect file formate ???

heres a nice technote I found which I found helpful

another trick i use sometimes is if I can open the file in a text editor you can copy/paste the cert using the other import option in the server certificate admin db
make sure to include ----begin certificate…end certifcate----
