I'm currenty working with webmin And it is a great program. I creaties And connected An SSL certificate tot mydomain.nl And when I go to that link IT has the green Kock. But when I go to mydomain.nl:10000 (webmin control panel) IT has the red locker with An warning
I think you have missed some step while installing SSL Certificate on your webmin url. You should re-check the steps which you have followed.
Below are the steps which I followed to secure webmin control panel and I am able to access it with https://
Step 1: Login to Webmin site using https://your-domain-name.com:10000
Step 2: Once you log in, you will see Webmin Dashboard.
Step 3: Click on your server’s hostname
Step 4: Once you click on it, you will see one window named Hostname and DNS client page
Step 5: Enter a fully qualified domain name into hostname field and click on the Save button.
Step 6: Go to Webmin configuration and select SSL Encryption.
Step 7: Once you click on the SSL Encryption option, you will get one window. Enter the following details
and click on the Request Certificate button at the botton of the screen.
Hostname for Certificate: Make sure you have typed correct fully Qualified Domain name.
Website root directory for validation file: Enter /var/www/html/
Months between automatic renewal: Select the radio button to the left of the input box and type 1 in the input box
Click on the request Certificate option to issue ssl certificate.
Step 8: Once you click on it, you will have to wait for a minute. You will get a confirmation message on the screen.
Step 9: Restart Webmin
Reload the Webmin page and you browser will show valid certificate.
You can fix this problem by going to webmain and select you domain have SSL
service configuration --> Manage SSL Certificate
Then copy it to Webmin

Pulling my hair out here. Yesterday I set up an SSL Certificate in IIS10. This is the process I followed:
In IIS, under Server Certificates complete Create Certificate Request (generated server.csr & server.key)
Go to sslforfree.com and start "create certificate" process.
Enter Static IP in Domain box
In Validity, choose paste Existing CSR (paste in contents of server.csr)
Select free 90 day certificate
Choose HTTP file upload and add auth file to virtual share in IIS.
Verified OK.
Download certificate
Back in IIS, select "Complete Certificate Request"
Browse to and select "certificate.crt" file.
Give it a friendly name etc, and save.
Browse to website under sites in IIS, and select Bindings. Choose the IP of the server, the incoming Port, and the newly imported SSL certificate.
Back in sslforfree, check the installation.
Everything all good
So everything was working beautifully, could see the certificate in the browser etc, job done.
Now come to today, and the server is actively refusing requests. Go back to check the installation of my SSL on sslforfree, and it's no longer found. Tried removing and re-adding, but nothing I do seems to get the SSL to be visible.
It's not that the certificate is refused, the browser doesn't even think it's there. Why would IIS suddenly stop sharing the certificate? I am totally stumped.
EDIT
As per the advice below, I set up a DNS name with CloudFlare and pointed it at my server.
I Set up the bindings in IIS to link to the new hostname and removed the old certificate (one for port 443 and this one for port 4443 which the API runs on):
Ports 80, 443 and 4443 are all port-forwarded on the router to my server:
I then downloaded Win-ACME and successfully created the Let's Encrypt certificate, and the renewal task created in Task Scheduler.
SSL Cert now shows in Bindings:
SSL Certificate appears to be all good:
...but when I go to the site, using the new domain name. Same problem... no certificate:
So I'm not sure what the problem is here...
This issue may happens when the imported cert does not have a private key associated. solution would be to import the .CER file to your system(from where certificate is requested) personel store and export it with private key. Then copy the .pfx file to required server and import it from server certificate option under IIS.
And you can refer to this link: The Whole Story of "Server Certificate Disappears in IIS 7/7.5/8/8.5/10.0 After Installing It! Why!".
Thanks to Lex Li, I was able to dig around with Jexus Manager, and IIS Crypto to work out what was wrong.
Seems having TLS 1.2 an TLS 1.3 enabled on my machine at the same time was causing issues. Discovered this using Postman and disabling certain TLS Protocols, eventually getting it to work.
For those of you who may experience similar issues, using this application and setting it to "Best Practices" after disabling TLS 1.3 in my Registry, I finally have it working, with a certificate.
This may seem like a duplicate of this and it kind of is but none of the solutions I tried worked for me! Here is the related Question:
Installed SSL certificate in certificate store, but it's not in IIS certificate list
My system is Windows 2016 running IIS 10. We issued a CSR file using IIS using *.mydomain.com (nothing in the Common Name, I think, because that will get named upon receiving GoDaddy's response). Our client went to GoDaddy.com, purchased a Wild Card certificate, and sent me a zip file with a .p7b and a .crt file. I installed the .p7b in the Intermediate Certificate section, per GD instructions. So now in the Certificate is in the Personal folder with info like 'issued to *.mydomain.com' and friendly name being 'gis.mydomain.com'.
But the Certificate does not have Private Key--and I think that's the problem: The Certificate disappears in IIS manager. When I try the certutil -repairstore command I get a prompt for a Card insertion.
Here is a fix I am thinking about: From the Certificate Enrollement Requests part of the console, export to a pfx file, then, using OpenSSL, make a PEM file. Then create a new pfx file to Import to IIS; problem is that the new pfx file creation gives me error "No Certificate Matches Private Key". Here is the command:
pkcs12 -export -in 1d4c26d43a4da203.crt -inkey my.pem -out final.pfx
Please note that Rekeying at GoDaddy may not help: Their .CRT file seems to be generated without the Private Key. Also, DigiCert is unable to find Private Key on the server even though the CSR file was created on the same server.
What are my options?
Thanks!
I fixed this issue by following the steps here:
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9773/2238/ssl-disappears-from-the-certificate-list-on-windows-server/
Specifically, these steps:
Open Microsoft Management Console (MMC) as an Administrator. To open MMC, press Win+R combination, type in mmc and click OK.
Select Add/Remove Snap-in and choose Certificates and click Add.
Choose Computer account in the Certificates snap-in window, click Next.
Tick Local computer in the Select computer box, then click Finish.
Locate the certificate that was imported when completing the certificate request. The certificate should be in the Personal store. Note that the icon of the certificate next to the domain name does not have a key on it; that means that no private key is assigned to the certificate.
Double-click the certificate and go to Details tab.
In certificate details locate the Serial Number field, click on it and copy its value.
In a command prompt type: certutil -repairstore my Serial_number from the step above. Make sure the serial number of your certificate does not contain any spaces. It should be a single string of symbols.
You can now refresh the list of server certificates in IIS Manager to see the certificate. You may need to close and reopen IIS.
UPDATE
The certificate store name for Web Hosting is webHosting. Use this in place of "my" which is the Personal cert store.
If you have multiple certificates, you only need to run certutil -repairstore for the first one. Others install correctly via the Complete Certificate Request in IIS (ie, they do not disappear).
Nothing worked until I followed GoDaddy's instructions per https://www.godaddy.com/help/rekey-my-certificate-4976 and installed the Re-Keyed Certificate. I don't know what had happened to have caused the failure. I had followed the exact steps earlier but what the client provided did not work first time. My guess is that the CSR file was generated when the server machine was in some pending major Windows Update and after the Update the Private Key stored in the OS was somehow lost/inaccessible.
Oh well, moving on.
There is one more use case under which IIS server certificates gets disappear when we create the Custom CSR from MMC -> Advanced Operations -> Create Custom Request and choose the Enhanced Key Usage purpose as "Client Authentication" instead "Server Authentication" and since we are uploading the certificate to IIS under Server Certificates so it should be for "Server Authentication" to show up or not disappear on IIS -> Server Certificates
Fix -
Delete the certificate from MMC and make sure it is removed after
refreshing
Generate the CSR using MMC Custom Request option and Choose "Server
Authentication" in case of the purpose for key usage while
generating the CSR using the Custom Request Option from MMC
Generate the Cert and signed by CA for the CSR generated in Step-2
Complete the Certificate Request from IIS and certificate should be
available perfectly fine in MMC as well in IIS -> Server Certificate
This should work fine !
At last Fixed!!
Step 1 - Go to your servers IIS
Step 2 - Select your server and choose SSL Certificate from middle panel
Step 3 - From the action panel on the right choose "Create Certificate Request"
Step 4 - Fill in the necessary details (common name = domain name, rest not so important)
Step 5 - after completing the wizard you will be provided with a .CSR file open the file in notepad and CTRL-A CTRL-C.
Step 6 - Go to the product page of your godaddy account from there go to SSL and click manage.
Step 7(optional) - To check if everything's fine with your CSR file, In manage SSL page click "SSL Tools" and from there choose CSR Decoder, you'll be taken to a page where you can paste the CSR and if results are shown you are good move to step 8.
Step 8 - Go back to Step 6, choose your SSL linked to the DOMAIN.
Step 9 - From the SSL Dashboard once you scroll down a bit you'll see the REKEY option, click on it.
Step 10 - Paste the CSR texts in the space provided
Step 11 - Click "Add Change"
Step 12 - Scroll down, click "Submit All Changes"
Step 13 - After the SSL is reissued(5-10 MINS), download the zip files for IIS server.
Step 14 - That's it , you should be able to add the new .CES file into the IIS without it disappearing.
Let me know if this worked for everyone.
You need to convert the certificate to .pfx file and include your private key.

I have created a self-signed certificate on IIS and added it to Trusted Root Certificates using mmc.exe and when I launch my intranet using https://ipaddress shows secure. But when I go LAN and browse for the https://ipaddress shows me not trusted. I also used on IE, which I installed the certificate but still showing not trusted. Am I missing something, please help.
Self signed certificates are not trusted by browsers as the issuer (yourself) is not a trusted Certificate Authority. However, you can trust the self signed certificate if you want by adding the particular certificate to Trusted Root Certificate store. For IE, import the certificate to the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities folder in the client machine. Note that this has to be done on all client browsers/machines to trust your certificate.
Also, there could be other reasons for not trusting the certificate, please read the error description clearly.
If you use subdomain, i.e. subdomain.domain.com, the domain administrator (IT) should provide you with a wildcard certificate.
The domain administrator generates and assign the certificate to your subdomain server, also should allow port 80 and 443 firewall rules so that users can visit the site in the intranet.
The above answered methods can be used to generate the certificate, preferably sha256 certificate. Once the certificate is provided to you, install it on your server to “Personal”, “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” and “Web Hosting”. Open the certificate to validate it installed successfully, and you can use the thumbprint to sign files, such as rdp files. To do this, on your keyboard, START + R to open the run command and enter “certlm.msc” and once the window opens, navigate to “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” and there should be the certificate that was just being imported, i.e. *.domain.com, double click to open the certificate and click on Details tab. Drag the scroll bar until the Thumbprint is visible and then click on it to revel the code. Create an rdp file to your subdomain and save it to your desired location, such as desktop. Open CMD terminal and CD to the location and enter “rdpsign /sha256 thumbprint ‘./sumdomain.domain.com.rdp’”. Done, now when you open the connection, the compute should be trusted to connect to RDP, this process is not necessary, but it is nice to see the publisher is recognized.
The benefit of having the *.domain.com certificate generated for your organisation is that users should have this certificate already installed on their PCs and when they visit your website, users would automatically see the HTTPS secure padlock for SSL certificate. The certificate would usually be generated to allow all subdomains, i.e. *.domain.com.
IIS, When setting up the HTTPS binding on your IIS settings, check the "Require Server Name Indication" and continue to browse for the certificate and select and save the settings. Also turn off Directory Browsing while you’re there. Go to SSL Settings and check on Require SSL and hit Apply and go back. To control the flow of HTTP to HTTPS when users visit your site, you can use “URL Rewrite”, install it from Microsoft and you can do the configuration, please check on https://www.ssl.com/how-to/redirect-http-to-https-with-windows-iis-10/ for the appropriate settings. Even though, this answer is out of the scope for the question, it may be helpful for anyone who look forward to configuring their intranet site. Next to checkout is the security for who accesses your site, check on AppPoolIdentity, more help on IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Hello I would like some pointers for enabling ssl on bitnami joomla that works with xampp I have read many tutorials nothing seems to work.I have tried to forse ssl from joomla adminstrator it says that the connection is not safe where might the problem be i see that the cert is not trusted i accepted it as trusted but still doesn't work .if someone knows the answer please share!
Bitnami developer here,
I have created a new auto-signed certificate using our guide at https://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/Apache#How_to_create_a_SSL_certificate.3f and modified file installdir/etc/extras/httpd-ssl.conf to use the new certificate files and after that restarted Apache server with sudo installdir/ctlscript.sh restart apache. It worked for me. The lines I modified in httpd-ssl.conf are:
...
SSLCertificateFile "/opt/lampp/etc/ssl.crt/server.crt"
...
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/lampp/etc/ssl.key/server.key"
...
Then, I browsed my server using HTTPS and it showed an error page with error code NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID.
That means that the certificate is invalid because of the Certificate Authority is not a trusted one. It is completely normal because I have auto-signed the certificate. To skip this, click the "Advanced options" button and then click the link "Proceed to ...". You should see your website.
Also in the navigation bar you will see text "https" in red. If you click in the lock close to it, it will prompt a window with text:
The identity of this website has not been verified.
• Server's certificate is not trusted.
Your connection to your_domain.com is encrypted with modern cryptography.
The connection uses TLS 1.2.
The connection is encrypted and authenticated using AES_128_GCM and uses ECDHE_RSA as the key exchange mechanism.

I followed the tuotorial : http://www.webopius.com/content/355/getting-mamp-working-with-ssl-on-os-x to get ssl certificate. After editing everything, I am getting the following error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:127.
Please let me know how to resolve this!
Thanks
juste place the ssl certificate in the firefox certificate session by
firing up the browser and click on:
Edit --> Preferences --> Advances --> Certificates.
from there click on View Certificates and on "Import"
you will get a dialog box where to choice your certificate
and add it in the existing list of ssl certificate.
now you will be able to use your certificate in localhost.
