I am working on setting up ssl to secure my end points. I got a test certificate created from my org
I have recieved a .pfx file
I converted it into .pem -----> .der -------> .jks format
We have basic infrastructure to put this .jks file in a folder called ssl and it gets picked up just by using a confg file.
Next I set up Jmeter to test this. Steps Followed
set up a test recorder --> set up an http get request that takes no parameters
2.changed protocol to https ---> given port no ---> set up host and path. This is correct as I have tested it with http and it returns fine.
Now when I try to test it I get an error Certificate_Unknown error.
I have tried searching the internet and StackFlow articles about testing SSL. I also stumbled upon an article which says I need to add the certificate to my java_home cacerts. I havenot been able to successfully test it. Any pointers to what I might be doing wrong or if I could test it in some other way would be very helpful.
I am comparatively new to SSL concepts and just learnt about formats, ssl etc.
Thanks in advance. :)
You don't need to convert .pfx file into .jks as .pfx files are basically PKCS 12 certificates and JMeter supports them out of the box
I fail to see where you "tell" JMeter to use the certificate. If your " basic infrastructure to put this .jks file in a folder called ssl and it gets picked up just by using a confg file" stanza is related to JMeter - you should address this question to the "infrastructure" providers. Otherwise you need to explicitly configure JMeter to use the certificate. Just add the next lines to system.properties file:
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/certificate.pfx
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=your certificate password
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up.

I have Matomo 4.7.1 installed on RHEL8 and am getting an error message when running the core archive.
/opt/matomo/matomo-4.7.1/plugins/GeoIp2/GeoIP2AutoUpdater.php(175): GeoIP2AutoUpdater: failed to download 'https://download.db-ip.com/free/dbip-city-lite-2022-03.mmdb.gz' to '/opt/matomo/matomo-4.7.1/tmp/latest/DBIP-City.mmdb.gz.download': curl_exec: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate. Hostname requested was: download.db-ip.com [Query: , CLI mode: 1]
Our company uses a self signed cert and it is installed on this server and Apache and PHP both work as expected. I can use command line curl to download the file given in the error message with no problems, but running the core archive always shows the error. I also added the option to accept invalid ssl certificates and that didn't help.
php /opt/matomo/matomo/console core:archive --url=https://myserver.com/matomo/ --accept-invalid-ssl-certificate
I also updated the php.ini file with the path to the pem file and that didn't work.
curl.cainfo = "/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem"
Is there anything else I am missing or can check?
Turns out there is config item for Matomo where you can set it to use your custom pem file instead of the one included with Matomo.
https://forum.matomo.org/t/certificate-issues-during-update/30238/8https://matomo.org/faq/troubleshooting/faq_34226/
To solve this issue, you are able to provide your own cacert file that trusts your proxies certificate. To use your own file, follow these steps:
1. Upload your cacert.pem file in a folder on your server such as /path/to/your/cacert.pem
2. Add custom_cacert_pem = "/path/to/your/cacert.pem" to the [General] section of your config file config/config.ini.php.
3. Make sure the certification is readable by your webserver.
So I am trying to make my IIS8 webserver https, yet I can't seem to get it to work.
I have tried almost anything... but nothing seems to work.
DON'T WORRY THE FILES BELOW ARE FAKE!
PICTURE 1 KEY
PICTURE 2 PEM
First of all, what do I need to do with these 2? It says to save them as .key and .pem files, so I thought they mend: put the private key in a text file and save it as .key and same for the certificate and save it as .pem.
I tried to convert them to .pfx because that is what I need, right?
First I tried using openssl, but I saw a nice site, so I started using that instead: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html. That gave me an error at first, but then I saw cloudflare also had something called DER:
Which gave me an .CRT file if I downloaded it, so now I had a .PEM, a .KEY and an .CRT file, I went back to the website and used the .CRT file and the .KEY file, and put in a password!
Now I've gotten my .PFX file, which I wanted! I installed it on my windows server, but got this:
Why is it not verified?!
What files do I need to verify this?
Am I saving the files correct?
Within IIS you'll need to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and export it.
In the Crypto app, scroll down to the Origin Certificates card and click 'Create Certificate'. Select 'I have my own private key and CSR', add the hostnames you'd like to be covered by the certificate. Once you've completed all the steps in the Wizard you can go back to IIS and click " Complete Certificate Request".
A step-by-step breakdown of these instructions is available on the Cloudflare Knowledge Base: Managing Cloudflare Origin CA certificates
Additionally, you'll need to install the Origin CA root certificates for CloudFlare on the server outline in Step 4 of the KB tutorial. This is fix the warning message:
Windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate.
There are two locations which these certificates may be installed: Current User or Local Machine.
To target the Current User open the certmgr.msc program, otherwise open certlm.msc
Expand 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities'
Right-click 'Certificates'
Select 'Import...' from the 'All Tasks' menu
Import both the ECC and RSA .pem files
I have an issue after I installed the SSL Certificate in WorldClient, MDaemon 12.
I followed the link in installing the SSL, SSL installation was fine. Then, I followed the link to use the SSL in WorldClient. I use 888 for TCP port and 443 for https port.
When I call the webmail (http://mail.mydomain.com.sg:888) in browser, it opens properly. But, if https://mail.mydomain.com.sg:888, Secure Connection Failed error message is shown.
Any Ideas, please? Thanks.
I have solved this problem.
If you read all instruction from the link you given in your post carefully until finished, you'll get the answer.
Note: MDaemon will only display certificates that have private keys
using the Personal Information Exchange format (PKCS #12). If your
imported certificate does not appear in the list then you may need to
import a *.PEM file, which contains both a certificate key and private
key. Importing this file using the same process outlined above will
convert it to the PKCS #12 format.
You should make a PKCS#12 file from generating the (certificate) .csr and private key (.key) you have. If you on windows, install the openssl first on your PC. After successful generate the PKCS#12 file, follow the instruction again to install the SSL certification on MDaemon.
If you success, you'll see the certificate appear in the MDaemon.
Remember to restart your server or webserver to apply the changes.

When using web2py, it asks a single ssl certificate file.
But what I got from Comodo are two files, one .crt file and one .ca-bundle file.
I tried with using only provide the .crt file when setting up web2py, in the beginning it works. But when I go to my website another day, it shows "This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority."
My suspicion is that this is related to the case of not using the .ca-bundle file. So anyone knows how to use both files in web2py settings?
Finally got it working!
It turns out to be the Web2py 'One step production deployment' script is not complete. It leaves out the 'SSLCertificateChainFile' option when it configures the Apache server.
So by adding this line:
SSLCertificateChainFile = path_to_your_ca-bundle_file
Below the line 'SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/self_signed.key' will do the work.
I followed this tutorial to create a ssl certificate for a CAS server, now I decided that I need to use a vhost using the mod_jk, so the certificate need to be set in the Apache vhost config file..
The problem that my certificate is a binary file and can't use it with Apache, anyone has an idea how to convert that certificate?
I find the solution..
I set my OpenSSL certificate to Apache..
Then from my browser I export it to a binary file (DER).. After that I copied it to my server then I add it to the tomcat cacert file (as shown in the tutorial)..
Hope that'll help somebody else one day..
