Probably the hardest part is jumping though the hoops to get a cert. To
find that info go to the company your purchasing the cert from.
Thawte is one I know off the top of my head but I know there are others.
Once you get the cert back drop it into place. You will find
documentation about all this where you purchase your cert. A google for
"setting up SSL server" or some such phrase should net you plenty of
information to fill the cracks.
