Managing the SSL Certificate

An SSL certificate is an effective way to secure a website against unauthorized interception of data. At its simplest, an SSL certificate is used to identify the website and encrypt all data flowing to and from the certificate holder's website. This makes all exchanges between the site and its visitors 100% private.

A valid SSL certificate is included with the Thinfinity® Workspace installation and all communications are already encrypted with the product's default certificate.

Still, you may want to use other certificates. You can:

• Create a self-signed certificate.

• Request a certificate from a CA (Certificate Authority).

• Import a certificate.

• Use ACME certificates.

Note that the SSL certificate configuration is only available for bindings that use the HTTPS protocol.

Once you have the certificate files:

1. In Thinfinity Configuration Manager navigate to the General tab and select the binding to which you want to associate the SSL/ACME certificate then click Edit.

2. In the Binding dialog window, from the Certificate field, select the certificate you want to use. The Certificate field will present the certificates located in your Personal folders in Windows certificate folder. After you have selected the certificate, click Ok.

3. Back to the Thinfinity Configuration Manager make sure to click Apply to implement the changes.
