Mince 2 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi there Hope you guys are well. Im running Emby on Ubuntu and i got my remote side working on HTTP. Im trying to secure the server by doin a SSL certificate. I signed up for a domain on a2hosting everything has propagated and im ready to go. I tried to copy the certificate csr into a2hostings csr section but i get a error am i missing something? I followed the support page https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001160086-secure-your-server I have already done the 2 TXT records. If i go on A2 hosting side there is a CRT that has to be completed. I have done the CRT through Ubuntu https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/generating-certificate-signing-request-csr-ubuntu-16-04/ I tried to copy the certificate csr into a2hostings csr section but i get a error am i missing something? Will it be better to rather do a Self-Signed SSL Certificate through apache? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-for-apache-in-ubuntu-22-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi, for maximum compatibility across devices I would suggest leaving self-signed as a last resort. Many devices will reject that and we can't always force them to accept it. So you want to make sure to use a certificate that your devices will trust.

Thx Luke i moved to cloudflare but i see theres alot of issues with cloudflare. Is there any other solution a person can look at that works with Emby?

Mince 2 Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Luke howsit I got a ssl certificate working on Dynu in the end but im running my domain through A2hosting. Now heres the issue on the support page theres a certificate converter. I have the certificate file but theres no pvt key or chain certificate. So i dunno where to get those 2 Files, only files i got from dynu was 3 certificate files domain, intermediate1 and intermidiate2. Must i download the private key from A2 hostings side and where would i find the chain certificate? @cayars https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001160086-secure-your-server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mince 2 Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 So i got a bt further but im still not even coming rright. So i need to create a PKCS #12 file fo emby But im not coming right with the converter. So im trying to make the file with openssl instead. I got most of the files Dynu - Chain certificate & Domain certificate A2hosting - I need a private key I couldnt download any private key so i opened notepad and copied the private key and pasted into notepad calling it private.key. When i run the command on openssl i get a error on the key file Could not open file or uri for loading private key from -inkey file from private.key B4120000:error:16000069:STORE routines:ossl_store_get0_loader_int:unregistered scheme:crypto\store\store_register.c:237:scheme=file B4120000:error:80000002:system library:file_open:No such file or directory:providers\implementations\storemgmt\file_store.c:267:calling stat(private.key) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrigo 29 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) openssl pkcs12 -export -in yourcertificate.crt -inkey yourcertificate.key -out yourcertificate.p12 replace your certificate crt and key with the ones you have for ssl and name the output as you want, it will ask for name password to save it. hope I help, offcourse you need to already have an ssl certificate and not a fake on your machine Edited September 22, 2022 by dgrigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're having trouble with this still, send me a PM with the info you have for your cert and I'll try and convert it for you. That will give me a chance to see if you have the minimal amount of information needed to convert your present cert to pk#12 with password cert. If it works, I can then show you exactly how to convert it. If you're missing info we can schedule a remote session and I'll help you get this remedied.
