PSAM 2.3 Certificates configuration

2.3.1 Introduction

The certificates management is related to the server name and the services provided (please refer to PSAM 2.2 Network Segregation for details about the certificate assignation to a specific NIC/IP/name). In order to provide to the client a sure match of your identity you need to load and configure a secure certificate bonded to your server name (ie: name.server.tld).

You can get the certificates configuration page using the Certificates entry in the main menu.

By default on the PrivateServer you can find a wildcard certificate for the madama.at domain name.

2.3.2 New certificates

If you need to upload a new certificate, click on the New TlsKeyPair link above the certificate table.

You are redirected on the Create TlsKeyPair page (it's shown in figure 2. New certificate form) where an upload form needs to be filled. Its fields are:

• Description: a generic name you choose to identify this certificate
• Private Key: your private key, provided by the signature authority
• Certificate: the certificate itself
• Cert Chain: a possible intermediate certificate used to link the certification authority to your certificate.

All the fields must be in pem format and you just copy and paste each of them in the proper field. When your' done you just press the Create button on the bottom line and the certificates are ready to be assigned to an interface/IP.
