How Do You Install SSL Sertificate on Linux for Snipe-IT Asset Management?

[Fazza]

I have very limited knowledge of Linux so looking for some help on getting our Snipe-IT asset management system secured via SSL. I've installed Centos 7 and then installed Snipe-IT on that (both following step-by-step instructions).

 

I've been told that all I need to do with Snipe-IT is to make sure the protocol in the .env APP_URL is https.

 

We have a wildcard SSL certificate (.pfx file - we can convert it to another format I believe if required) I'm hoping this can be used for the above purpose. I've no Idea how to install an SSL certificate on CentOS/Linux so can anyone help with this or point me in the direction of some step-by-step instructions that work?

There are a lot of howto's about converting pfx files with openssl. You will need to install the certificates into /etc/pki/tls on centos and point the /etc/httpd/ssl.conf to it but it does rather depend upon how the virtualhosts are setup. you might need to post the config.

 

Alternatively you could put a load balancing proxy such as nginx in front of it.

You could easily automate free SSL cert and installation with Let's Encrypt. Just about to head out but I'll try find the how-to for it later.

 

As above it would be good to put behind a NGINX or apache reverse web proxy. Then you just need to SSL the web proxy and any future web servers can sit behind it happily.
