A great many people have asked me for a simple How-To on creating an SSL certificate for your Domino server. Here's a very clear step-by-step guide that should do the job for you.

Really interestingBy Josep Alemany on 03/10/2008 at 04:57 AM EDT
That's really interesting and useful!
There's any information about how to use these certificates to authenticate and to sign files and forms from the web?
I'll be very pleased if you send me information about this.
Thanks in advance!

re: Creating an SSL Certificate fo IBM Lotus DominoBy Julie on 08/20/2008 at 11:10 AM EDT
Many thanks for this. I've just followed it to successfully setup SSL on a Domino server in about an hour. I'm sure it would have taken me a lot long had I not had this guide.
There is just one step missing from the guide. The last thing you need to do is enable SSL in the Server document (Ports->Internet Ports tab). I'm not using Internet Site documents so I guess it may be enabled elsewhere if you are.
A note about setting the database property "require SSL connection" would make it even more complete!
Many thanks for saving me a lot of time and headaches!
27-08-2025Updated Quick Reference to Create SSL/TLS Certificates manually for CertStoreIt's been a long time since I've added anything about Domino here, but I wanted to put this where I'd find it next year and though some of you might find it useful as well. There's lots of instructions out there around using "LetsEncrypt" or whatever to generate short lived SSL certificates for Domino, but if you want to use a full blown certificate authority -- or maybe your company does self signed certificates and you want to use those, here's a quick reference.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......
04/04/2020How many Ventilators for the price of those tanks the Pentagon didn't even want?This goes WAY beyond Trump or Obama. This is decades of poor planning and poor use of funds. Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
