---+ Certificate Authority and Issuer Setup Guide
The following step-by-step guide walks you through the processing of configuring your ODS instance for issuing CA-Authority notarized X.509 certificates for ODS instance users.
---++ Certificate Authority Setup
   1 Install the [[https://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/download/][ODS Framework]] and [[https://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/download/][Virtuoso Conductor]] VAD packages.
   1 [[http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtSetupSSLVirtuoso][Bind your Virtuoso HTTPS Listener]] to host a CA-Authority certificate.
---++ ODS Endpoint Configuration
Note: If the DefaultHost setting value in the Virtuoso INI file is changed, the ODS VAD package must be re-installed before the steps below will succeed.
   1 Go to *Conductor* -> *System Admin* -> *Security* -> *Public Key Infrastructure* -> *Configure HTTPS Listeners*.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 Click *Configure ODS Endpoints*
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 Click *Create New Endpoint*
   1 Enter the home path for ODS, and save:
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 The new endpoint should now appear in the Endpoints list:
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 Go to the HTTPS site, e.g., https://<cname>:<port>/ods/; in our example, https://localhost:4433/ods/. 
      1 If Firefox is used, it will complain that the certificate is not valid, so we must register the site's certificate.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
      1 To add an exception to the Firefox certificate manager, drill down to *Firefox Tools* -> *Options* -> *View Certificates* -> *Servers* -> *Add Exception*.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
      1 Confirm exception.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 Return to the ODS site, and register new user.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 [[ODSGenerateX509Certificate][Generate an X.509 Certificate for the new user]].
   1 Log out from ODS and refresh browser to simulate opening the ODS site. 
   1 Go to https://<cname>:<ssl-port>/ods/. The browser will ask for a certificate; select the one you generated in the steps above.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 ODS presents your card, and asks whether to login with that certificate. Confirm it.
%BR%%BR%
%BR%%BR%
   1 You should now be logged in to ODS via WebID Protocol.
