2. What is 4D Webstar Server?
4D Webstar is an HTTP server that works on MAC
and Windows platforms & provides powerful and
effective solution for application and database
development.
3. Here are the steps to install an SSL
certificate on 4D Webstar 4.x Server.
Step 1. Download and Extract certificate files.
After purchasing SSL certificate, your certification authority will
send you an email which includes a *.Zip file. This *.Zip file
contains your Primary SSL certificate, Intermediate and Root
certificates. Extract this *.Zip file on your server directory where
you want to store all your certificates.
4. Step 2. Create the PEM File
To Install SSL certificate on 4D Webstar 4.x server, Webstar server
requires a text file with .pem extension.
To create .pem file
1. Create a text file with name ‘myCertificate’ and save it with
extension .pem.
2. Open all your certificates in any text editor, copy the encrypted
data (Including BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----------END
CERTIFICATE) and paste it on to myCertificate.pem File in the
flowing order.
Primary certificate’s encrypted data
Intermediate certificate’s encrypted data
Root certificate’s encrypted data
5. 3. Now your myCertificate.pem file is ready and it will look
like,
----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
Primary certificate’s encrypted data
----END CERTIFICATE----
----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
Intermediate certificate’s encrypted data
----END CERTIFICATE----
----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
Root certificate’s encrypted data
----END CERTIFICATE----
Note: Don’t change the order of certificate in
myCertificate.pemfile, otherwise you will not able to install
SSL certificate properly.
6. Step 3: Install SSL certificate
Your .pem certificate file is now ready. You can proceed with the
SSL installation procedure.
• On your WebSTAR Admin section open ‘Settings’ window. Now
select ‘SSL Security’.
• In SSL Security section, the top area contains list of IP
addresses while the lower area contains security options which
includes private key and certificate data. The checkboxes set
your policies regarding incoming connection.
• Here we can only assign one certificate to each IP Address.
• Select an item for the IP Address which correspond the host
name of your current SSL certificate.
7. • Now select SSL 2 and SSL 3 on the security popup menu.
• Press the ‘Certificate Choose’ button to select the .pem
certificate file that you have created earlier.
• To select the private key that was created before ordering the
certificate, click on ‘Private Key File Choose’ button.
• After that, enter your ‘Private Key password’ in proper field and
press ‘Save’ button.
• Now take a look at the server status window; there you will see a
message that confirms the acceptance of your SSL certificate:
“SSL context for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 Created”.
8. With this step you have successfully installed an SSL certificate on
4D Webstar 4.x Server.
Note: In case you do not have the Private key/CSR, then you can
get it from here - “Certificate Signing Request”.
