Set up HTTPS cert

You can add your own https cert and key in apache style cert files to use a secure web console for Device42 and the Remote Collectors. You can generate a self-signed certificate with a CA using OpenSSL or Microsoft certificate server and upload it here, or you can also have one issued from a trusted certificate authority.

Upload the cert and key files.​

Upload both files: cert and key. The software will validate the certs before applying them.

Adding the intermediate and the CA Root​

You'll need to concatenate all the certificates, starting with the server certificate, and going deeper in the chain, running through all the intermediate certificates. This can be done with "cat chain.crt >> mysite.com.crt" on the command line. (or via copy-paste via a text editor)

Restart the Application​

You will need to restart the application to see the new cert.

Creating your own cert​

If you create your own certs, these can be uploaded via the Appliance Manager. Device42 is unable to assist in the creation and signing of certificates, please use a CA like Thawte for creation and signing.
