Custom SSL Certificates
Your ARDI license includes an SSL certificate that is signed by Optrix, the authors of the ARDI system.
This is a self-signed certificate to help provide an additional layer of security and allow users to access web technologies (such as video, audio and position capture) that are only available on secure web-pages.
However, this certificate will give your clients warnings unless they install the Optrix certificate chain on their devices.
You can instead provide your own SSL certificate to your ARDI server at any time.
Files and Formats
Ensure you have the following files…
- The root/intermediate certificate chain,
- The server certificate,
- The ARDI servers private key
The all files but the private key should be in .pem format.
Installing Your Certificate(s)
Simply copy these files into the /ssl folder of your ARDI installation.
File Name | Contains |
---|---|
chain.pem | The SSL certificate chain in PEM format |
server.pem | The servers public key in PEM format |
server.key | The servers private key |
Restart the Service
Once this step is complete, restart the Apache2 service to use your updated SSL certificates.
