I am attempting to import an SSL certificate into Spiceworks.

The 2 certificate files GoDaddy provided me with are named as follows:

gd_bundle.crt

(mydomain).crt

The instructions here refer to 3 file names (highlighted in bold):

5. …save the email attachment (or if provided to you as text, save it into a text file) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\httpd\ssl\ and rename to ssl-cert.pem

6. Download Intermediate Certificate

Many CAs have an intermediate certificate that will be used as well. These are another link in the chain between the certificate that was issued to you and the trusted authorities in web browsers.

Download this certificate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\httpd\ssl\ and rename to ssl-intermediate.pem.

7. Copy Your Key

Copy your private key to C:\Program Files (x86)\Spiceworks\httpd\ssl\ and rename to ssl-private-key.pem.

Could someone clarify for me exactly which files I should be renaming to ssl-cert.pem, ssl-intermediate.pem and ssl-private-key.pem? Thanks!

I figured it out.

In case anyone else is doing this for the first time and is wondering the same thing I was:

ssl-cert.pem = (mydomain).crt (emailed from the CA- in my case GoDaddy)

ssl-intermediate.pem = gd_bundle.crt (emailed from the CA- in my case GoDaddy)

Note that the intermediate certificate may not be required. I received one from GoDaddy, but found that modifying my HTTPD.conf file as per the instructions actually prevented my Spiceworks from loading. Turns out it didn’t need the intermediate cert. and actually wouldn’t work if I attempted to use it.

ssl-private-key.pem = the private key you generated yourself (in my case created with OpenSSH)

Just want to say thanks for posting this simple summary!

I was able to successfully use a wildcard cert from Network Solutions with these:

ssl-cert.pem = *.mydomain.com.crt (since mine is a wilcard cert).

ssl-private-key.pem = the private key I generated (begins with “-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----”).

I didn’t need an intermediate certificate, either.

Just incase anyone else runs into this issue, you do need the intermediate cert for Firefox

make sure you put rename the gb_bundle file to ssl-intermediate.pem put it in the ssl folder with your private and public key and also make sure to the SSLCertificateKeyFile line, in your httpd\conf

SSLCertificateChainFile “ssl/ssl-intermediate.pem”
