Re: Setting up SSL for payment service -- WEB400

I wrote an idiots guide to installing server certificates (and a correct chain) on http://www.coraltree.co.uk/phpbb but since I don't have a computer to hand I can't tell you the exact thread. For me it was a godaddy certificate but I think the process is the same regardless.

If course you can't rule out the fact that the certificate may not be correct for the host name you are trying to use.

Can someone please point me to an idiots guide ('cos this SSL stuff makes me feel like an idiot) to configuring for secure communications.

Right now my need is to set up the IBM i so I can use the First Data Global Gateway.

I have obtained a certificate for the box from Comodo and that has been installed by the good Dr. F. - although my Mac insists that it is untrusted - I'm not sure why.

I have obtained a test account from First Data but ...

They have sent me a bunch of files of type .key and .pem - I can find how to instal the .pem file in Windows - even on the Mac - but what the heck do I do with them for the IBM i? Needless to say First Data are convinced that everyone uses Windows! The instructions don't recognize the existence of any other platform.

I have a php script running to the server and log shows that the communication goes through OK, but it throws an authentication error.

I have googled my little brains out, tried to understand the IBM docs - but sadly it is as if the First Data and the IBM docs were written in two different languages. They can't apparently use the same word to describe the same things.
