Generating a key ring file for SSL connections

To set up SSL on the trial server, you need a key ring containing a server certificate from a third-party Internet certificate authority (CA).

About this task

A server certificate is a binary file that uniquely identifies the server. The server certificate is stored on the server's hard drive and contains a public key, a name, an expiration date, and a digital signature. The key ring also contains root certificates used by the server to make trust decisions.

Use OpenSSL (available on the Internet) and KYRTool (installed with Domino) to generate a keyring file for Domino servers to use. For instructions, see the article Generating a keyring file for Domino on the HCL Software Support site.
Note: There are two sections in this article. Follow the instructions in the section Generating a keyring file with a third party CA SHA-2 cert using OpenSSL and KYRTool on a Windows workstation.
