Requirements
In order to enable HTTPS on My OPSWAT Central Management, a trusted certificate issued by a certificate authority provider or a self-signed certificate along with their private key and password (if needed) files must be provided.
To enable HTTPS, switch to a Custom Domain or Proxy URL, using IP addresses is not supported**.**
Using IP Address
For temporary setups or internal networks where security isn't a primary concern. Uses the current IP address of the server (e.g., http://10.40.160.238).
Using Custom Domain
Uses a domain name such as your-company-domain.com to access the server securely via HTTPS.
Steps:
Select the Custom Domain option.
Enter your full domain URL (e.g.,
https://portal.company.com).Click on Update to upload an SSL certificate.
Uploading SSL Certificate
When prompted to upload a certificate:
Certificate (.crt): The public certificate file issued by a Certificate Authority.
Private Key (.key): The private key file that matches the certificate.
✅ After selecting both files, click Import to apply them.
⚠️ Ensure that the certificate is valid and matches the domain.
Using Proxy URL
Description: Uses a reverse proxy setup with a specified secure domain (e.g., https://proxy.company.com).
Use case: Use this option when your system is hosted behind a proxy server that handles HTTPS and routing.
Step:
Enter the full proxy domain in the input field.
To enable HTTPS, you must use a domain or proxy, not an IP address.
Ensure DNS is properly configured to point your domain to the server.
SSL certificates must be valid and issued for the domain name you use.
After any change, remember to Save the configuration and restart services if required.
