Upload a certificate to the orchestrator

If the Orchestrator is not using the default DNS suffix then you must upload a valid certificate for the Orchestrator hostname. If you change from the default DNS suffix and do not upload a valid certificate, then a self-signed certificate will be generated which will cause a warning in your browser when you connect.

The default DNS suffix is "blastshield.io", meaning the default fqdn of the orchestrator is "https://orchestrator. blastshield.io".

The certificate can either be a signed certificate for a previously downloaded signing request, or a zip archive containing both a private key and a matching certificate.

BlastWave provides a valid certificate for the default DNS suffix in every new Orchestrator.

Procedure

  1. Login to the Orchestrator and click on the Network option in the menu bar on the left-hand side.

  2. Go to the the Network Setting menu.

  3. Click on Download Signing Request to download a signing request to send to you CA.

  4. Once you receive back the signed certificate then upload it using the Upload Certificate button.

  5. Alternatively, you can upload a zip file with both a private key and the certificate in case you have a wildcard certificate or if you want to generate the certificate by yourself.

  6. Once you have uploaded the certificate you should close and re-open your browser tab to get the padlock icon on your browser.
