Overview

SSL Certificates can be uploaded and applied to an Object Store through the web interface.

Format

The uploaded certificate must be in ASCII format (these often come with the extensions pem or crt) and must include the certificate, any intermediate certificates, the private key, and the CA certificate.

The contents of the file should look similar to the example below, with the contents of your certificates and key substituted in:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
 (Your Private Key: your_domain_name.key)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Intermediate certificate: Intermediate.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Root certificate: RootCertificate.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

 

Upload the Certificate

To apply the certificate:

1. Log into VPSA Object Store web GUI with an admin user.
2. Click on "Settings".
3. Click on "Security" tab.
4. Click on "Edit" next to "Upload SSL certificate".

The contents of your certificate (see Format above) can simply be pasted into the New Certificate Pem field and saved.
