Use an existing SSL certificate from certificate store

Note: The owner of the certificate is responsible for maintaining the certificate.

Sym3 Operator allows the use of an existing SSL certificate from the local machine personal store (Cert:\LocalMachine\My). The steps are as follows:

  1. Select a certificate from the dropdown.

    • The dropdown lists certificates from the local machine personal store (Cert:\LocalMachine\My) only. Import the certificate into the store if it is not listed.

  2. Click the Save button to apply the change.

    • This step may take some time. After the new certificate is applied, your browser will be disconnected from the server.

  3. If the applied certificate is a self-signed certificate, each client computer must install the certificate on the machine. The steps see Sym3 Web Certificate.

Note: The certificate will be applied to Sym3 Auth Service as well to simplify the configuration. Modifying the Sym3 Auth Service settings manually if a different certificate for Sym3 Auth is required.

Restart the Sym3 Web and Sym3 Auth services after the certificate is applied.
