simonsez Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have a wildcard certificate and I would like to use it with my ISY. I notice when I click on manage ssl certificates I get a new browser window that goes to: https://universal-devices.com/ssl/insteon Which in turn starts a new java applet. My question is how is this controlling my Isy? I want my Isy to be on it's own, and I do not not want anything to do with Universal Devices remote access portals. I found the Install Certification option but I am nervous about putting in my in wildcard certficiate as it seems to be sending it to Universal Devices. Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Michel Kohanim Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 simonsez, Nothing goes to our server; the only thing happening is that the applet is downloaded from our server, searches for your ISY on the local network (that's why you cannot do it remotely), and then from then on the interaction is between ISY and wherever the Admin Console is running.

simonsez Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am still having trouble using my own wildcard certificate. After uploading it using the SSL Certificate Management -> Install SSL Certificate my device reboots but continues to use the old certificate. Does my certificate need to be in a certain format? PKCS perhaps? Also, when I start the tool and login I get the following error window: After clicking ok I get the license agreement window: After clicking Yes I get: Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi simonsez, I am not sure what "my own certificates" mean. What you have to do: 1. Make sure you are local 2. Create a Certificate Signing Request (SSL Certificate Management | Generate Certificate Request to CA) 3. Send it to your CA 4. Once it's signed, then use SSL Certificate Management | Receive Certificate from CA and Install Please note that max strength for ISY is 128 (1024) and not higher. You can always use CACert.org to create free certificates. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
simonsez Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Michel, I have already have a certificate I would like to use. It's a wild card certificate from Godaddy. It is in PEM format. How I can use this certificate with the Isy? When I select 'Install Exisiting SSL Certificate", what format is the ISY expecting?

Michel Kohanim Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Ryan, It has to be in X501 format. Also, hopefully your certificate is older since I noticed that GoDadday no longer provides 1024 bit security (their weakest is 2048). With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
