I've got to put 2-way ssl on some laptops where each one has its own different cert. On the server, I've got to configure IIS7 to trust all client certs from the issuer, so that the different certs are all accepted. I've set my IIS7 site to 'require ssl' - 'require client certificates'. I've got the one-way SSL on the domain already configured to use a cert I obtained from GoDaddy, and that's working well. When I try to make it work with 2-way ssl, I can't get it working.
The issuer in question is the company themselves, so they issue their own certs.
So far I've been given the following by my client:
Root .cer for issuing company
Chained .p7b file that contains the ROOT, SUBONE and Test.cer Client
Test.cer that came from a CSR I generated on my development machine issued by SUBONE
My question is - Where do I put everything, and what settings do I need to configure this so it works?
(client: Win7, server: 2008Server, IIS7 - all bang up to date)

I have a business process which send messages to SAP via soap endpoint exposed by them.
I am using WCF-BasicHttp Send Adapter(In-Process).
As you can see below, earlier the url was http, now they have moved their system to cloud so now they have https endpoints.
I wanted to test this change from http->https, so I have modified the url to https, fill in the credentials for basic auth. it working fine in Test system without SSL Certificate, I need to make sure it wont cause any issue after moving to production system.
My Question is,
1/ Will it work in Production system too as its in TEST without SSL Certificate ?
2/ or Do I need to apply SSL for WCF-BasicHttp Adapter, if yes How can I do that ??
If you are moving to https URL, Certificate is must for SSL/TLS handshake. Many times, Certificate used by specific endpoint is signed by a third party Trusted Root CA e.g. Trustwave, DigiCert etc and these Root CA certs are already trusted on most of the systems. It’s possible in your test system, your endpoint certificate Root CA is already trusted and that’s why you did’t need to install the certificate. In order to check this, you can do following:
Browse your https service url in browser in chrome/IE
Look for Security/Lock sign to find it’s cert. Clicking the lock sign will open certificate.
Check the certificate root by going to Certification Path. You should see a chain of certificates in path. A cert can be by signed by just root CA Or by Intermediary CA first and then root CA. e.g.
—- Trustwave Root
—- Trustwave Intermediary
—- service cert
Or
—- Some Root
—- service cert
Check if Root CA is in your Trusted Root store of system. And Intermediary Cert (if applicable) is in Intermediary Cert Store. You can check this by opening certificate mmc snap-in using mmc command in Windows->Run and adding Certificates snap in of local computer.
If Root CA Cert and Intermediary Certs are not in your system store. SSL/TLS handshake will not complete successfully and BizTalk send port will not work.
If these are installed, you should be good. Otherwise install these certificates in local computer stores.
Another way to verify if endpoint certificate is trusted on a BizTalk system is to login with service account under which your send host is running and then browse the URL in IE. If you don’t get any Cert error, and URL opens such as wsdl URL, then you are good. If you get a cert error, this means end point certificate is not trusted and you need to install the certs as described above.

Working with Certificates
I'm creating a Certificate Authority with openssl, and signing my server & client certificate with it (they both are the same).
Installing CA as a Trusted Root CA and Intermediate CA, server certificate - as a Personal one.
Adding server certificate in IIS6, adding bindings - and getting the right https connection via browser on server side.
But on the client side -
Installing CA as a Trusted Root CA and Intermediate CA, client certificate as Personal, server certificate as External.
Checking all the certificates - they are in a working state, CA is connected to client, everything looks normal.
Trying to get via Chrome - I'm getting the connection, but it is unsecured (can't connect to https). (But I still can connect Chrome, and use all the requests in Google Rest Client.)
In IE I'm getting ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED.
What am I doing wrong here?
SOLVED. Had the same serial_number for both client and server certificates

We are consuming xml from different datasources. Some are http and some are https. HTTPS with Verisign certificates are working without any issues. However, URLs with Deutsche Telekom Root certificate is not working. The web sphere application server is having the default root certificate which was generated while creating a WAS profile. Do I have to add any other special certificate to make Deutsche Telekom Root certificate work ? Any kind of help is much appreciated.
I don't think I know enough about your setup yet. So by default WebSphere creates it's own root certificate, nothing about it would trust a Verisign certificate. So I wonder about what you are using to make the https connection? It could be something that manages to bypass the WebSphere socket factories and you are actually using the JRE's default, and the cacerts file for trust. Verisign certs are in the cacerts file there are no Deutsche Telekom as far as I can tell.
Or was a Verisign certificate added to your WebSphere truststore at some time?
Typically you have establish trust to make WebSphere trust another server. Retrieving a certificate from a port is a good way to do that.

Please, post the WAS version you use.
The reason you cannot setup the connection to ssl port is that WAS doesn't trust to the ssl certificate of the remote host.
You have to add the whole certificate chain of the remote host to the WAS truststore.
You can find the example of how to add the certificate by following link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CE0QFjAHahUKEwiRy4zsztzGAhXCfHIKHVq-BfM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webspheretools.com%2Fsites%2Fwebspheretools.nsf%2Fdocs%2FBasic%2520SSL%2520terminalogy%2520and%2520Tips%2520for%2520WebSphere%2520Application%2520Server.Default%2520passwords%2520for%2520SSL%2520keyfile%2520and%2520Truststore.&ei=DwymVdGHDcL5yQPa_JaYDw&usg=AFQjCNE42W06AILWb99iYWiUp7EcbT92iw&sig2=KKYyvAsFET1Ae0fOLSl8zA&bvm=bv.97949915,d.bGQ
I just installed an SSL on Plesk, and when I go to https://www.example.com in Chrome, I get the error below:
This CA Root Certificate is not trusted. To enable trust, install this certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store.
Sort of defeats the purpose of having an SSL. Any idea how I can make this message go away?
I bought the SSL from GoDaddy, which I would expect to be a trusted authority.
This issue occurs because the issuing authority has signed the server certificate using an intermediate certificate that is not present in the certificate base of well-known trusted certificate authorities which is distributed with a particular browser. In this case the authority (GoDaddy) provides a bundle of chained certificates that should be chained with the server certificate to address this issue of lack of trust. Unfortunately, GoDaddy does not provide any documentation on this front. You should have received two different certificates from GoDaddy, one for your server, and the bundle. Depending on your server, this is what the configuration would look like:
For Apache:
Specify each certificate in its own directive:
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert/www.example.com.crt
SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/cert/bundle.crt
For Nginx, documented here:
Both certificates should be concatenated, first the server, then the bundle:
cat www.example.com.crt bundle.crt > www.example.com.chained.crt
And then use www.example.com.chained.crt in your server ssl_certificate directive:
ssl_certificate www.example.com.chained.crt
GoDaddy is recognized on Windows operating systems, because the GoDaddy root certificate is pre-installed on Windows. But GoDaddy will not be automatically recognized in many contexts and would need to be manually configured by users (which is not a trivial task). IPhone, for example, will not trust GoDaddy certificates out of the box. You may consider getting certificate from established certificate authorities such as Verisgn or Thawte, but they will be more expensive.
#John: GoDaddy is a registrar/webhost, I believe their certificates are just reseller certs. You don't need to go expensive to get compatibility as #Jaro suggests. I've deployed several RapidSSL certificates that are recognized by Chrome/iOS and Safari/iOS without user intervention and are much cheaper than the higher-insurance certificates like Symantec/VeriSign.
The only way to make that message go away, is by buying a real certificate from a trusted authority.
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.
