What extension file does Hue Configuration for SSL

[#1]

Hi,

Does ssl_certificate accepts only as .crt file extension or .pem or .cer or .der also works?

because when i did ssl with self signed certificate everything hue starts but when i did with Microsoft generated ssl certificate and key it gave me this error

OpenSSL.SSL.Error: [('PEM routines', 'PEM_read_bio', 'no start line'), ('SSL

routines', 'SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file', 'PEM lib')]

The extension does not matter, but the format does.  The file should be in "PEM" format.  It should contain these lines:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Thanks alot,

I got this issue resolved.

The certificate generated from IIS Microsoft was not correct

Once i got the ptx format for certificate.

I extracted the key and certificate from .ptx format as .key and .crt file like

For the key:-

openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -nocerts -out [keyfile-encrypted.key]

For the certificate

openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -clcerts -nokeys -out [certificate.crt]

Just gave all the rights to both key and cert and made the key passphrase less. as

cp [server.key] [server.key.org]

openssl rsa -in [server.key].org -out [server.key]

and gave the path of key and cert in Hue.
