Windows - Generate Lets Encrypt SSL Certificate
Requirements:
Accessit Web App must be available from the internet on port 80. Please see this article for more information: https://desk.zoho.com/portal/accessitsoftware/kb/articles/enabling-access-to-the-accessit-web-app-from-the-internet
Domain name you wish to use for SSL certificate has to be assigned external IP and ideally also to internal IP of the Windows server/machine (Example: library.accessit.online )
PowerShell script for exporting certificate as .pfx and saving into Accessit Folder. You can download it from: https://accessitsoftware.com/updates/reference/accessit-ssl-win.zip
Steps:
1: Check external connection
In this guide we’ll be using http://library.accessit.online .
If your Web App is using a different port externally (2000, 2001, 8080) then you’ll have to make changes in your Port Forwarding rules and Accessit Web App configuration. Details are available in: https://desk.zoho.com/portal/accessitsoftware/kb/articles/v9-change-web-app-port
2: Install Certify The Web
Download PowerShell script and edit it. You need to specify keystore password in Password variable and domain name in CertName variable.
3: Configuration
Start Ceritfy The Web and select New Certificate.
Give name to the certificate, enter your domain name and select ADD DOMAINS .
Under Authorization set Challenge Type as http-01 and set Website Root Directory to:
C:\Program Files\Access-It Software\Accessit\tomee\webapps
Under Tasks add the downloaded PowerShell script as a Deployment Task
4: Generate Certificate
Then select Test option to verify if you can connect to Let's Encrypt servers correctly.
You should get a response looking something like this:
Now you are ready to request the new certificate by clicking on Request Certificate options.
Once process is finished, go to C:\Program Files\Access-It Software\Accessit\tomee\conf folder and check if certificate was successfully generated.
If it’s there, then you can enable it in your Accessit Web App config by following steps in following article: https://desk.zoho.com/portal/accessitsoftware/kb/articles/v9-web-app-setting-up-https-ssl
