adding SSL cert - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

adding SSL cert (wodWebServer / wodWebServer.NET)

by dirk, Friday, March 18, 2011, 20:51 (4759 days ago)

I'm trying to add a self-sign SSL cert to my app (using wodWebServer).
Via http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com/ I generated a cert.
It generates a .KEY and a .CERT file.
From my understanding the .KEY is what you would call in the C:Program FilesWeOnlyDo.ComWebServerSamplesVBComponent3. SSL Server sample the .PEM file. And the .CERT seems to be the .KEY file, is that correct?

Dirk,


Actually .key is .key (this is private key) and .cert is .pem (this is certificate).

So it should look something like this:
[code]cert.Load App.Path & \cert.cert
cert.LoadKey App.Path & \cert.key [/code]
You can check this out if you open those files inside some text editor (notepad for example).

Ok thanks

Additional question:
if I use
cert.generatekey 0
cert.generate
cert.save cert.pem
cert.savekey cert.key
in order to let the component generate a certificate, is it then possible to change the start/end date of the certificate? It seems to show as start/end date of the certificate 12/30/1999.

Dirk,


Yes, you can add start/end date of the certificate using wodCertificate ValidFrom and ValidTo Property.

You need to do that when you generate certificate.

Ok this seems to give me 2 years from today:
cert.GenerateKey 0 ' RSA key
cert.ValidFrom = Date
cert.ValidTo = DateAdd( yyyy , 2, Date)
cert.Generate

Thanks for the quick help
