Hi!

I just need to setup an SSL authentication for my Openfire server.

I already have a Wildcard certificate.

I tried importing it every way possible but with no success.

Can anyone help with this…??

No certificate was needed last time that I used OpenFire, it worked out of the box.

What platform are you running OpenFire on?

Ubuntu…

It’s working perfectly but the thing is i need to make the communication secure.

Any hint on this?

I believe there is a setting in the Openfire admin console that will encrypt the network traffic. Just enable this setting.

Under Server > Server Settings > Client Settings, make sure SSL Enabled is selected.

Then in Server Certificates you can import your own certificate.

Yes when I import the certificate it shows pending Verification.

Any outcome to this? I’m stuck with the exact same wildcard pending verification problem.

There’s this

and this

But no luck somehow.

I’m stuck as well. No matter what I do it says Pending Verification. Haven’t tried generating a CSR but I shouldn’t need to as I have a cert already that works fine in a number of different applications.

Guys,

I was actually able to solve the issue.

I generated a CSR from Openfire-Server certificates Tab.

Using that CSR i generated a certificate from my CA then copied the Certificate & intermediate in the reply box one by one & then clicked on save.

The pending verification was no more there & it was CA signed

For any help you may reply back to this post.
