Description

This contribution for smeserver adds a paner in the server-manager in order to save the certificate, the secret key and eventually the intermediate certificate if needed without the use of the command line interface.

see that wiki page for more informations on how to set it manually

Requirements

You need to enable the stephdl repository

Installation

Remember to first configure the required stephdl repository, then issue the following command on the SME Server shell:

yum install smeserver-certificate --enablerepo=stephdl

The 'official' way is to perform

signal-event post-upgrade;  signal-event reboot

but if you don't want to reboot your server, do

signal-event console-save

Go to the manage ssl certificate panel on Server Manager and past your server.crt and server.key. There is also the possibility one is getting a custom certificate from an Intermediate Certificate Authority. If this is the case you'll get an additional CA certificate and you need to past into the box called 'SSL intermediate chain certificate'

  • If you want to get back to the default SME Server certificates, simply blank all the contents and press save.
  • If you set wrong certificates, the server Web may crash. You will have to do a command line in a root Terminal to get back to the default certificate :
signal-event certificate-revert

Uninstall

yum remove smeserver-certificate; signal-event console-save
