SSL with a real certificate

[rednyle]

Hello,

Does anybody know if it's possible to apply HFS with a real ssl certificate (Go Daddy or Thawte) so that the browser doesn't complain about it not being a valid certificate. I'm currently using Stunnel and it works great but a friend would like to have this setup for his company so that his clients can use it to download and upload documents. He would like his clients to not have to see the certificate warnings. Is there something I can do to accomplish this? I looked everywhere on the forum but other than Stunnel, I can't find anything.

Thanks,
Dom

Any standard PEM certificate should work...   Certificates as .CRT are the same thing, you just need to change the extension.

to use ssl certificate of Go Daddy or Thawte, it's necessary that you have their two public and private keys.

I just found a write from this one post and will try it out. Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Very new to this software, followed the instructions above but then sort of released this is using its own cert?
I want to use one from go daddy so i need to look at doing this, does anyone know if that is possible using stunnel?

Any help would be great.

My website uses STunnel with an SSL cert..... just take the .key file you download, copy it into the .crt certificate they give you, and that's your certificate.

Can you generate a request from stunnul or should this be done from any server?
