It is useless, in the context of the proxy, to try to use an official certificate, but only a trusted certificate from the self-signed root certificate authority is sufficient.
- You can create a Self-signed root certificate using the Artica Certificates Center
- You can also generates a new certificate manually and import it inside the Certificates Center
¶ Manually generate a certificate
To manually generate new trusted Root CA Certificate, run the following commands. openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -x509 -keyout MyKey.pem -out MyCert.pemopenssl x509 -in MyKey.pem -outform DER -out MyKey.der
Get the MyKey.der and MyCert.pem
After generating the certificate, import it inside the Artica Certificates Center.
¶ Where to import certificates in browsers ?
For Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome or Opera, you need to import the generated certificate inside the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”
- For Mozilla Firefox, use the “Authorities” tab and click on “Import”
