Install SSL certificates on ClearOS

You can bu ssl sertificate for your domain at https://my.idcloudhost.com or for your test/research you can try free sll at https://www.sslforfree.com .

To use specific ssl in ClearOS server, please make sure that you already configure domain in your web server (in ClearOS)

 

Upload certificates to ClearOS

Upload these files to “System > Settings > Certificate Manager > External Certificates > Add”
https://example.org:81/app/certificate_manager

ClearOS doesn’t support for intermediate certificates yet, so if your SSL provider suggests this, just skip this, and upload the others (Certificate File, Key File and CA File). Don’t worry to much though, as this should only affect very old browsers (pre-2010) ClearOS added support.

Configure ClearOS web server to use this SSL

 

Test your SSL certificate
