Blue Prism HUB 5.1.1 Production Environment SSL Certificate from Certificate Authority

[KodiSrihari]

Hi Team,

We are installing Blue prism HUB 5.1.1, In staging it was successful now we have started installing in Production environment.

As suggested in Document, we need to use a certificate from Certificate Authority only for production environment.

Can anyone suggest which certificate type should be used among the below: And suggest any details on selecting the certificate from Certificate Authority.

Certificate type :

1)-EliteSSL Certificate

2)-PlatinumSSL Wildcard Certificate

3)- Unified Communication Certificate SSL


Thanks,

Srihari

Hi, Srihari,

it does not have to be a certificate from a certification authority. If your company can generate for internal usage certificates it can be generated by your IT department. Usually in corporations there are people who can generate a certificate for you which is trusted within your organization. They will probably ask for subdomains so ask for star certificates which would cover all options which are required by Hub (authentication, audit, etc.).

Regards

Hello KodiSrihari

Thank you for contacting Blue Prism Community.

You can also use self generate certificate for training or test propose, it is not secure for production , however can help with your test and developer environment installation.

Please refer to the link below link

How to Generate a Self-Signed Certificate for Hub
You can generate a self-signed certificate using PowerShell on Windows:

Run PowerShell as Administrator.
Use the New-SelfSignedCertificate command (adjusting [Website] and [ExpiryYears]):
powershell

New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "your-hub-site.local" -FriendlyName "HubSelfSign" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(2)

Move to Trusted Root: Open the "Manage Computer Certificates" app, find the certificate in Personal > Certificates, and copy/paste it into Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates.
Reference in Installation: Provide the thumbprint of this certificate during the Hub installer configuration steps
