Configuring SSL Providers

SSL Providers provide certificates that connect websites with companies. Ubersmith provides connections with Comodo, GeoTrust, GlobalSign, OpenSRS, and eNom. You can also establish your own certificate, as self signed.

1. From the Ubersmith Dashboard, click Settings.
   
   The Ubersmith Settings page appears.
2. From the Clients-Services section, click SSL Providers.
   
   The SSL Providers page appears.

Self Signing SSL Certificates

You can upload your own CA Certificate and CA Private Key. This generates self-signed certificates without reaching out to a third party SSL provider.  These certificates generally register an error with web browsers and other SSL/TLS aware clients, as they are not signed by a trusted Certificate Authority.

1. In the SSL Provider field, select Self Signed.
2. In the CA Certificate field, enter your certificate authority (CA) certificate details.
3. In the CA Private Key field, enter your certificate authority (CA) certificate private key.
4. In the CA Private Key Passphrase field, enter your certificate authority (CA) certificate private key passphrase.
5. Click Update.
