Please be careful to protect the key file (via permissions settings), since anyone with it can act on behalf of the urn:node:TDAR Member Node within the DataONE network. Also, please do not share the certificate files over insecure protocols like email.
We cannot guarantee that we can keep a copy of your certificate, so please make an encrypted copy of it on a thumb drive or somewhere else that is safe.
To install these certificates, you will need to configure your web server software with the file location of the certificates, in the same way that you would do so for a server-side certificate from a commercial SSL Certificate Authority like Verisign or Thawte, etc. We do not have specific instructions for this procedure because it differs for all web server software packages. However, we can point you to examples of Member Node software applications that do this using Apache, and that should help you understand the configuration directives even if you are not using the Apache web server.
