Title: SSL with a real certificate
Post by: rednyle on September 14, 2011, 07:24:45 PM

Hello,

Does anybody know if it's possible to apply HFS with a real ssl certificate (Go Daddy or Thawte) so that the browser doesn't complain about it not being a valid certificate. I'm currently using Stunnel and it works great but a friend would like to have this setup for his company so that his clients can use it to download and upload documents. He would like his clients to not have to see the certificate warnings. Is there something I can do to accomplish this? I looked everywhere on the forum but other than Stunnel, I can't find anything.

Thanks,
Dom

Any standard PEM certificate should work...   Certificates as .CRT are the same thing, you just need to change the extension.

to use ssl certificate of Go Daddy or Thawte, it's necessary that you have their two public and private keys.

My website uses STunnel with an SSL cert..... just take the .key file you download, copy it into the .crt certificate they give you, and that's your certificate.

Can you generate a request from stunnul or should this be done from any server?
