Question
How do I use my own SSL certificate for HTTPS with Enterprise 7.4.2
Prerequisites
Certificate archive, in password-protected PFX format, whose "Issued To" name either matches the base URL of the Enterprise server or has a domain wildcard.
Note: The password cannot contain certain characters, such as quotes or the & symbol, for it to work in the XML config file.
Answer
- Copy your PFX file into the Quin-C bin folder (typically "[drive]:\Program Files\AccessData\Forensic Tools\[version]\bin\")
- From the bin folder, open ADG.WeblabSelfHost.exe.config in a text editor
- Find and change the value of the certificateFileName key to the full path to your PFX file, as shown below:
C:\Program Files\AccessData\Forensic Tools\7.2\bin\myCertificate.pfx" />
- Find and change the value of the certificatePassword key to the password for your PFX file, as shown below:
myPassword" />
- Save and close ADG.WeblabSelfHost.exe.config
- Restart the AccessData Quin-C Self Host Service service
Note
The value in the "certificatePassword" will automatically encrypt itself when the service is restarted.
