Create Custom Server Certificate

Configure Seeker to use your own trusted certificate.

  1. If you don't have your own certificate and private key, create them by running the openssl utility. For example: 
    openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout my-server-key.key -out
            my-server-cert.pem -days 365
  2. Open the SEEKER_HOME_DIR/server/conf/nginx.conf file for editing, and in the # self signed cert section, replace the defaults paths to the ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key by your own respective paths. For example: 
    # self signed cert & private extracted from seeker-keystore.jks
        ssl_certificate      /etc/certs/my-server-cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key  /etc/certs/my-server-key.key;
        # use only if private key is protected with a password
        ssl_password_file /path/to/key.pass
