Assign SSL certificate PowerStore3

I have an SSL certificate. My hosting provider has installed it and I have a dedicated IP. I need to know what to do now. I haven't been able to find the answer in these forums.
Someone refered to an 'assign ssl' tutorial, but I haven't been able to find that either.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

the simplest solution is to use an .htaccess rule to redirect all http traffic to the https address:

saga im not sure if you have found the solution, here is what i use on my sites .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]  link typed on addressbar 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursites.com/$1 [L,R=301]  redirect
