Installing a Global ID for BEA WebLogic Server The certificate that you will receive from VeriSign contains two parts - a server part, and a CA part. These will be clearly marked in the certificate that you will receive.

Installing the Global Server Certificate Installing the Intermediate CA Certificate

Installing the Global Server Certificate
Open a text editor window and create a new file to hold your certificate. You can name the file anything, but it must have a .pem extension. For example, you could name it "GlobalCert.pem". Return to the email and copy the certificate marked as the SERVER CERT including the two lines labeled "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" into your editor. Save the Certificate File in the WebLogic Server installation directory, which is usually c:/weblogic on Windows NT. In your text editor, open the weblogic.properties file, which is also in your WebLogic Server installation directory. Look the string "weblogic.security.certificate.server". This is the first of the Server certificate entries in the properties file. Set this property, and the weblogic.security.key.server property which follows it, to the names of the Global Certificate file you created in the previous step, and the key file you created when you generated the Certificate Signature Request. Your properties should look like this: `weblogic.security.certificate.server=global_certificate_file `weblogic.security.key.server=globalKey.der``

Installing the Intermediate CA Certificate
Add a new property to your weblogic.properties file beneath the weblogic.security.key.server property: `weblogic.security.certificate.authority=globalIntermediate.pem` Save the weblogic.properties file. Create a new file in the WebLogic installation directory and name it globalIntermediate.pem. Return to the email, select the Intermediate CA link and copy the root certificate information, including the two lines labeled "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" into the globalIntermediate.pem file. Save this file.
