SSL Certificate and the Vmware appliance

Post by mcooper » Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:48 pm

I have been working on getting my purchased certificate working for some time and have come to a road block. When the cert is installed on the server, the client can view the webpage (without the complaints about not trusting the website), authenticate fine, download/install the client fine, but during connection, the client fails with "Unexpected error: untrused_cert: X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY."

My guess at the root cause of this problem is I purchased the cert from net solutions. They have an extra step for installing certificates on Apache that I cannot figure out how to complete on the server. This server was downloaded preconfigured to use for VMware ESX.
The site describing the steps is

http://www.networksolutions.com/support ... l-openssl/

They want
... add the following line to the SSL section of the 'httpd.conf' file. SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/crt/Apache_Plesk_Install.txt


I'm guessing that this step will add net solutions as a trusted CA and make the error go away but I cannot find the apache file to edit. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Closing topic. mcooper It would be great to help you out with this problem, but this forum is for OpenVPN discussions only. I see your post directed at Apache.

Best of luck.
