What SSL do I need?

Hi All,

I am just experimenting with the WebAdmin SSL setup and I am trying to setup webadmin so my chrome browser doesn't go ballistic because webadmin is "unsecure"

I got a free Cert from StartSSL but I am not sure if that is the right certificate I need?

Once I get the right certificate how would I go about installing it?

Thanks guys

You can use StartSSL but you have to create a PKCS#12 certificate.
This certificate can then be imported in UTM and used as webadmin/userportal certificate.

First create a PKCS#12 from withint StartSSL!

Or just import the UTM's cert into Chrome.

This does work too, but for the user portal I believe it's better to use valid certificates that can be checked without having to import the certificate into every browser to be used by all of the potential users of the user portal (which are not always systems controlled by the sysadmin).
StartSSL hands out free https/email certificates, so the price shouldn't be a show stopper.

Hi,

Does Chrome recognize StartSSL as a cert authority?

If not, namecheap is selling Comodo certs for $8.

Chrome uses the cert store that comes with the OS (at least on Windows)...

Do not forget to consider the name in the certificate has to match the url in the browser exactly.
Say you want to access the user portal from the internal network and from the internet aswell, you have to use a domain name which can be resolved correctly in both cases.
