MITMProxy: Generated cert and downloaded cert are not the same - ssl-certificate

After running mitmproxy for the first time, the cert generated in ~/.mitmproxy is not the same as those available on http://mitm.it Shouldn't the certs be the same on both the server and the client?

Get SSL certificate for Tableau

I can't connect with my Tableau Server from Tableau Desktop because it shows me that error: SSL certificate is not valid. I'm searching for a solution, but I'm only reading how to change the certificate with another, beacause I do not have any other certificate.
My question goes before that: how can I get a certificate? where I can get it from?
This is the guide from Tableau I use whenever I need to setup SSL for my servers. It includes obtaining an SSL Certificate from a certificate authority Steps for SSL Cert
To configure Tableau Server to use SSL, you must have an SSL certificate. To obtain the SSL certificate, complete the steps:
Set the OpenSSL configuration environment variable (optional)
Generate a key file
Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Send the CSR to a certificate authority (CA) to obtain an SSL certificate
Use the key and certificate to configure Tableau Server to use SSL

Apache keeps issuing a self-signed certificate even after installing a certificate

I have purchased and installed an SSL certificate on my apache server. The problem is the server is still serving a self-signed certificate.

SSL Self Signed Certificate Error

I have installed SSL Certificate manually that I had brought from Godadday. It installed successfully but it shows self signed certificate which is not trusted or displays cross on https.
What is the solution ?
It is showing because it does not recognized the certificate that you get from Godaddy.
The CSR certificate has to upload on your site and make changes on apache config file.
Make sure your CSR file should not match with the private key that you submitted to verify your site.
Installing a SSL certificate requires some server administration knowhow, especially updating web server configuration.
DigitalOcean has a great tutorial on how to install a SSL certificate from GoDaddy: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority#example-ca-2-godaddy
Maybe it helps.
To check if you installed it correctly, you can use Qualys SSL Server Test at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

SSL certificate installation issue

After changing ssl certificate authority from Thawte to DigiCert.
SSL certificate installation issue.
After installing new DigiCert ssl certificate in our server. It is still referring to old Thawte ssl certificate even though we removed old certificate from the server.
Looks like you have another vhost file using the old certificate , please remove that from your . Also make sure you properly restart apache after adding the new certificate .
To check your installation you can use the tool below
Thawte certificate checker
To see what certificate you are using, you can use the following tool Tool
This tool will allow you to check what certificate is installed on your server. Then, you can use the utility tool utility tool
You will be able to see all of the certs from your local machine or server. If you don't see the certificate there, you can import your certificate with that tool. If the utility tool mentions that your private key doesn't match, you will have to recreate the CSR with the utility tool and you will have to reissue your cert. If you reissue your cert, you will not invalidate the original request.

Using self-signed certificates with keytool for development purposes

When generating a self-signed certificate using keytool, can I use an IP address for the Common Name?
Once I generated the certificate, I exported it so I can install it in my clients/browsers. In Windows, I ran mmc.exe and added it as a Trusted Root Certificate Authority.
However, when I navigate to the IP address in my browser, it is still an untrusted connection. I ensured Tomcat had all the correct Connector settings.
Am I doing this correctly? do I need to be my own CA? How can I use SSL for development purposes? I'm still trying to understand SSL completely.
First question: if you'll be connecting by IP, then yes.
Second question: No, you don't install your self-signed certificate as CA, you just add exception when your browser warns you that it's self-signed.
You can set up CA — you generate root certificate first, install it in the client, and then generate CSR and then server certificate from it (see e.g. this), but for development purposes this is a complete waste of time.
