ProcMan server certificate

The ProcMan server certificate and key file provided by the CA (see prerequisites) has to be copied into the httpd/conf.d subdirectory of the HWF installation. Beware that the certificate file must be in X.509 Base64 encoded PEM format.

You can verify whether this is the case by opening it in a text editor. If it is in the proper format, it must not contain any binary data and it must contain a section like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

If the file contains binary data instead, the certificate is probably in the DER format and it has to be converted into the Base64 encoded PEM format. For the conversion you can either use the openssl command:

openssl x509 -inform DER -in <DER encoded file> -out <PEM encoded file>

or (only on Windows) open the certificate file by double click from the Windows Explorer in the Windows Certificate tool and copy it into a Base64 encoded PEM file:

The names of the files set in the Web Server configuration file are by default .crt and .key where is the installation name set in the setup.rsp at the ProcMan installation. If the certificate and key file names differ from these, rename them or open the Web Server configuration file in a text file editor and change the file names in the options SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile.
