SSL on vesta Admin Panel

Hello everyone,

I'm still new on Vesta and VPS in general, forgive me if this has been asked a lot of times but I feel like a lot of content I see on the internet is extemely old and there are easier ways to do a lot of stuff now.
Just for example, I've been following a guide about let's encrypt on Vesta, and only after few hours I discovered that I only needed to put a check in the SSL field to have my website working with a certificate.

So the question is quite easy, how to install a working certificate on my Vesta admin panel and on my emails? Right now they are both with an invalid certificate.

Running Vesta on the latest build, using exim as mail server.


Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time!

I've tried two options

One is to disable the cp ssl, so that I can login onto the admin panel without worrying about the ssl. Of course this seems to be not that secure.

The other options is to make a soft link between your valid ssl and your admin panel's ssl the latter of which is integrated but I forgot the path of them.

Something like this below(normally you need to make two soft links for two files respectively):

Code: Select all

ln -s /path/to/your/issued key /path/to/your/admin/panel/ssl files
If you are lazy, there might be another way, just to open your key files with an editor, say sublimetext, copy the content and paste correspondingly to server contol section (there should be two textboxes) in vestacp.
