Self Signed Certificates

RamaseshanSubr1 — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 11:21:00 GMT

Hi Team
I'm installing the Interact Components installation in Window Sever 2019.

I have successfully installed and configured - Erlang/ RabbitMQ / IIS/ .Net Components in the machine but I'm encountering issue while trying to configure SSL certificates.

Currently we are doing the POC, so we are going with Self-Signed Certificates. But we are getting this below issue while trying to run the command in PowerShell. PFB error description and screenshot attached for reference

Could you please let us know how to resolve this issue?

Exception:
PS C:\Users\n1543838> New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "ims.local" -

Hi, Ramaseshan,

it is just a formatting of the line which you probably copied form PDF. There is an extra space or hard enter which is causing the issue. If you put it in notepad first remove the unwanted character and paste it back it will work.

I am pasting here all the self-signed certificate commands which you probably need. Just replace ims for authentication.

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "ims.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertIMS" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "hub.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertHub" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "email.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertEmail" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "audit.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertAudit" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "file.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertFile" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "notification.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertNotification" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "license.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertLicense" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "signalr.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertSignalR" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "interact.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertInteract" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "iada.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertIADA" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "interactremoteapi.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertIRA" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

Let me know if it works.

Regards,

Zdenek

hello,

After setting up Hub I'm getting below error on hub URL.

I recreated the hub certificate also and it is in the Trusted Root Certification folder as well.

Appreciate any help

Hello, Tejaskumar,

that is a standard warning from Chrome. Click on advanced button and proceed. You should be presented with log on page for Hub.

Hi, Tejaskumar,

I can see the advanced button on your screenshot. It is on the left side from the blue button Go back.

You may try to delete the cache and run it again.

Hey, thanks for the help.

It worked after clearing up the cache and all browser history and now able to access the hub with the certificate error.
