Before configuring the SSL appliance you must have a certificate and keys for the
server. You can use the files you received from the Certificate Authority, copy the
keys and certificate from an existing secure server, use default keys and
certificates preloaded in the device, or generate your own keys and certificates.
Instructions for exporting keys and certificates from existing server are found in
"Using Existing Keys and Certificates" in Appendix F.
Additionally, be aware that you might have to make several changes to your Web
pages. The nature of the changes depends upon whether you are securing a
previously unsecured site, or adding the SSL appliance to an already secure server
installation. These changes are described in the section "Web Site Changes" in
Appendix B, Deployment Examples.
