Adding a new certificate
You can add your own certificate from the device42 appliance manager. Step by step instructions for same are in the appliance manager section in device42 documentation.
Creating a new certificate with openssl
You can use any external/internal certificate provider to generate certificate for device42. Following is a brief guide on how to create a self-signed certificate with openssl.
1. Create key for CA.
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 4096 2. Create certificate file. openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca_file 3. Create key for server certificate. openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 4.Create certificate request. openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr 5. Sign and create the server certificate. openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca_file -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out cert_file 6. Export the key file in correct format. openssl rsa -in server.key -out key_file
If you wish you can append ca_file to cert_file(cat ca_file >> cert_file) to complete the certificate chain.
Now you can use key_file and cert_file for the appliance(as mentioned in the documentation link above).
