SSL Certificate Issues

Hello Guys, this is my first time handling SSL.(also new to epicor). We seem to be having issues after renewing our Self-signed certificate which is used in live. The issue seems to keep breaking extra stuff in the background.

Looking at the old certificate, I noticed under Intended Purposes, it is set to Client Authentication and Server Authentication. But using the epicor documentation to create a self-signed certificate there were no options as such and only created one with Server Authentication. (See Image)

I think it might be straight forward to just purchase a certificate but i do not know which one will work without further (Worse) issues.

I would take @EarlGrei’s advice and check out Certify The Web. While self-signed certs have generally long lifetimes, the current practice is to shorten those lifetimes. Having something that automates this for you makes these kinds of services an easy decision.

@Mark_Wonsil Thank you. But is there a how to to configure and install?

It is a certificate service. Check it out. They handle the cert creation, renewal, installation, etc.

Hi Mark, trying to figure how to send a direct message. Not to bug you, but could we have a quick chat?
