Installing SSL Provided by Authorities

Order a signed certificate from a SSL certificate provider

Order a signed SSL key from a certificate authority, and follow the key provider's instructions to generate and submit both of your private key and the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to acquire the certificate. Here is a list of commonly used certificate authorities.

Replace your certificates with the new ones.

Locate your existing SSL certificates and replace them with the ones that acquired from the certificate authority. Your certificates are located in the following path:

OS Version	File
32-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server.crt C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server.key
64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server.crt C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server.key

Install the Intermediate CA Certificate file (Optional).

Your certificate provider may require you to also install an Intermediate CA Certificate file. Copy the file to the following location:

OS Version	Path
32-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server-ca.crt
64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\server-ca.crt

Use a text editor to open the following file:

OS Version	Path
32-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl_template.conf
64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aspera\Common\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl_template.conf

In the file, un-comment the following line by removing the "#":

SSLCertificateChainFile "${path}/conf/server-ca.crt"

Regenerate Apache's configuration file.

Use the command to regenerate Apache's configuration file to apply the new SSL certificates. This command will prompt you to restart Apache, answer y (yes):

> asctl apache:generate_config
