Certificates

You can install TLS certificates on your symBalancer which can be used to terminate HTTPS connections at the balancer. Certificates show up in the selection box when adding HTTPS ports.

Add a Certificate

Click Add certificate to open the add certificate dialog, and fill out the following fields:

  • Name: Enter a name for your certificate.

  • Certificate: Paste your certificate (along with any chain certs).

  • Key: Paste your private key.

  • Click Submit.

The server will check validity and if all is okay, it will be added to the certificate list.

Certificates list

../_images/certificate_list.png

This is a list of all certificates installed on the balancer. Each row contains:

Name

Certificate name, as provided when it was added.

Fingerprint (MD5)

MD5 Fingerprint of the certificate. This is for verifying if a certificate has changed since you originally added it. An example command to check the MD5 might be something like this:

Verify MD5 fingerprint of a certificate
 openssl x509 -in /my/certificates/[MYCERT] -noout -fingerprint -md5
Delete

Click to delete a certificate. Once confirmed, the certificate is removed from your balancer.

Note

Certificates must be removed from any ports they are in use on, before they can be deleted.
