Im not very tech savvy and im trying to get SSL configured to get rid of the "NOT SECURE" alert in chrome.
I've purchased a CA from Comodo. I just dont know what files need to go where. I see the my dcvstatus is not complete. Im not sure what files need to be put into the 'Server Settings' fields. I have all these different files that I'm so confused.
Also since getting this CA I've upgrated to PM gold. Not sure if that has any influence on it.

Re: Can't get SSL working
You need the key file (which was used to create the certificate signing request), the cert file for your domain, and the root cert file. The last two being provided by your certificate authority. Each file must be in base-64 PEM format. The root cert file for Comodo with have the word "bundle" in the file name. If you load them into a text editor like NotePad the key file will have "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" in the first line. The two cert files start with "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----". Poker Mavens has a setting for each file that points to their location. You must also place the two OpenSSL DLL files into the program folder where PMServer.exe resides. A link to those are in the FAQ item 17 at http://www.briggsoft.com/pmfaq.htm
Re: Can't get SSL working
Does getting that root certificate take a while via DNS CNAME authentication? Saw it says something like could take 24-48 hrs to propagate.

Re: Can't get SSL working
DNS propagation is just the amount of time it takes to get your domain name around the world to the local name servers. It has nothing to do with SSL.DaneW wrote:Does getting that root certificate take a while via DNS CNAME authentication? Saw it says something like could take 24-48 hrs to propagate.
Re: Can't get SSL working
I cant seem to figure out where to get the root certificate on comodo. Seems i cant authenticate, I dont have email w my domain so i cant do it that way. Should I just set up an email for my domain and authenticate it that way?

Re: Can't get SSL working
You can load the files into a text editor and see that all the data will consist of 64-character lines of text from this group of 64 characters: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, +, /DaneW wrote:How do I confirm I have base 64?

Re: Can't get SSL working
Do I leave the bundle file as is or do I have to sepearate the two Begin Certificates into their own file. I thought I had to simply upload the bundle to the SSL root certificate file?Kent Briggs wrote:The root cert file for Comodo will have the word "bundle" in the file name.

The root cert file has multiple certs in it. Just leave it as-is.blockgators wrote:Do I leave the bundle file as is or do I have to sepearate the two Begin Certificates into their own file. I thought I had to simply upload the bundle to the SSL root certificate file?
