[SOLVED] SSL Installation - Certificate Authority Not Found
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2014 11:05 pm
1. SSH connected to server as root, generated certificate signing request with openssl:
Common Name: *.domain.tld
The rest: Country/State/Org/ ...
2. Processed Comodo EssentialSSL Wildcard (got from NameCheap) with the generated CSR > received certificate bundle by email including the 1 signed cert file and 3 cert authority files.
3. VestaCP admin > Web > SSL Support > Copy pasted signed certificate into "SSL Certificate" box, Copy pasted private key into "SSL Key" box > Save
That causes Error: certificate authority not found.
Help appreciated.
SOLUTION:
xD gotta copy paste the certificate authority info into the certificate authority box (the third box in the "SSL Support" section)
Comodo (or other SSL provider) will email you a bundle zip file containing 4 files, 1 of them (ex. STAR_domain_tld.crt) is the signed certificate to be copy pasta'd into the first box like I mentioned I did. And then the 3 remaining .crt files (ex. AddTrust..., COMODORSAAddTrustCA, COMODORSADomainValid...) should be copy pasta'd into that third box (create a new text file and copy paste the 3 certs into there first, then mass copy paste from the summed text).
Like:
Code: Select all
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csrThe rest: Country/State/Org/ ...
