Automatic SSL Certificate Installation
Original Question or Issue:
To clarify I only need a way to automatically apply or update the certificate used by Filecloud. We already have the system for obtaining validated certificates.
Environment:
- Product - FileCloud Server
- Version - Any
- Platform - Any
Steps to Reproduce:
Error or Log Message:
Defect or Enhancement Number:
Cause:
Resolution or Workaround:
Currently, FileCloud does not provide a dedicated API for updating SSL certificates. The standard method is to apply new certificates manually (Filecloud Control Panel):
Install a certificate using the FileCloud Control Panel - FileCloud Docs - Server
Install an SSL certificate on Linux - FileCloud Docs - Server
That said, you can choose to automate this process by using custom scripting:
-
You can create a script to replace the certificate and private key files with the newly obtained ones.
-
After replacing the files, restart the FileCloud Apache service for the new certificate to take effect.
Notes:
Creating or providing custom scripts to automate certificate updates is outside the scope of FileCloud Support.
