no, but you can still import a sha1 based cert
You cant specify an algorithm (md5 vs sha1) when generating the Domino CSR generation using the server certificate admin,
however if you tell your CA provider that you want a SHA-1 based certificate based off of your CSR. Domino can import it using the steps in the server certificate admin db.

The trick is that the cert you install in the keyring in step4 must have been seeded by the CSR generated from the same kyr in step number 2, otherwise you risk getting a private key error when attempting step 4

if you need SHA-2, I recommend using a web proxy infront of domino http

starting in domino 9 we provide IHS on windows for TLS
