Self-signed CA -> Certificate - Firefox error

<< < (2/2)

Have you looked at Letsencrypt? Its root CA is publicly trusted.

System, Firmware, Plugins, os-acme-client

ArminF:
ok, got it to work. Took a few tries.

Screenshots attached numbered
1 > System - Trust - Authority
Internal Root
Key lenght 4096
Digest SHA512
Lifetime 3640 (10 years)

2 > System - Trust - Certificates
Type Server
Key RSA
Key length 4096
Digest SHA512
Lifetime 825

3 >
Set DNS alternative Name DNS and IP


Then exported the LocalCA Cert (System - Trust - Authorities)
As i am on mac i had to set the system default to allow and trust always

Replace the Server Cert on System - Settings - Administration
Reloaded

Result > after reload chrome and safari shows valid

Maybe this helps!
Good Luck

Hi ArminF

Thanks for your detailed reply...
I finally figured it out... somehow (fat fingered, not paying attention) I had chosen a client certificate in stead of server certificate which of cause doesn't work with a website!

But now I got a nice green bar in the certificate details under Firefox, just like I would have expected.

Thanks again for taking your time to reply!

And thanks to bartjsmit for the heads up on Letsencrypt!

ArminF:
Aloha,

you are welcome.

Interesting that you had to choose client cert.
Good that its working now.

"all ways lead to rome" we say here.

Cheers and happy config
armin
