pleasehelp 0 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Can I use my QNAP myQNAPcloud SSL Certificate for emby remote connection? It is direct from QNAP and not a LetsEncrypt certificate. External domain: https://XXXXXXX.myqnapcloud.com Custom ssl certificate path: ??? The problem is that I cannot select a PKCS #12 file for the “Custom ssl certificate path” entry. QNAP: “The license for myQNAPcloud SSL certificate does not allow you to export the certificate or keys from the QNAP NAS” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi, so you're saying you don't have direct access to the certificate file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasehelp 0 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think so, because I didn't find it in the NAS file system, the "Download Certificate" button is gone and the QNAP statement above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 i dont use myQnapCloud - but it is i think a closed system provided by QNAP for external access of your NAS so not surprised its not a "standard" certificate it will be on the system somewhere as updates involve a download - not looked for it on my system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ok we'll need to research this. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean 2 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think so, because I didn't find it in the NAS file system, the "Download Certificate" button is gone and the QNAP statement above. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/67479-how-to-connect-emby-through-qnap-letsencrypt-certificate/ See if this thread helps. It is about a letsencrypt cert but maybe the location and info about needing to create the pkcs file also applies to the qnap cert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasehelp 0 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was just able to return the certificate and have now received my money back. So I can't try that. I will now get a LetsEncrypt certificate. Many thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grudi 3 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 You can use the myQNAPcloud SSL Certificate for emby remote connection. You will find it in /etc/config/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert on your QNAP NAS Convert the QNAP certificate with the following command to a PKCS #12 file: openssl pkcs12 -export -out emby.p12 -inkey key -in cert reference the emby.p12 file in your server setup: /etc/config/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert/emby.p12 enter the password that you assigned during the conversion of the certificate into the respective field.

Beebo 4 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Just a quick shoutout to grudi for his neat tutorial. Worked perfectly, and Emby is accessible via https. Nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattArnolds 0 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) It's good that you got your money back, because now there are a lot of scammers. I was lucky enough to choose a company that would not scam me when I need help for getting my certificate. I was not sure which one to choose, and later I found out that my friend got scammed by the one I did not choose. My choice was https://www.spoto.info/pmi-dumps, and I am really glad that I have made it. They have helped me a lot, and to be honest, I would not be able to do it without them.

schogobong 3 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I followed the steps posted by @grudi but somehow, emby doesn't seem to recognize this. My setup/steps: I have a ssl certificate from Let's Encrypt (using the QTS SSL Certificate in the myQNAPcloud settings) I SSHd into my NAS using Git Bash and ran the code provided by grudi I set a password I pasted this path into the Custom ssl certificate path in emby: /etc/config/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert/emby.p12 I entered the certificate password that I set via the terminal I saved and, as prompted, restarted my emby server I forwarded port 8920 TCP on my router The dashboard still says "running on http port 8096", no mention of https. And when opening https://nas-name.myqnapcloud.com:8920/ in my browser, I get an error saying that the site can't be reached. Any idea why this isn't working? Maybe also from @Beebo, who seems to have gotten this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schogobong 3 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It seems that this just took a bit to actually be displayed properly. It is now running on http 8096 and https 8920. But seeing as QNAP automatically renews the Let's Encrypt certificate and I had to manually run the pksc12 export: Is there a way to automatically re-export the pksc12 file whenever the certificate get's updated or is that not necessary?

Hi, it is necessary, and I would imagine you could create a cron job to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
