For better security, you can use valid SSL certificate to access the gateway. When you access the gateway Web User interface, you receive a message about invalid certificate, but can still ignore and proceed to access.
The gateway web user interface runs on the Nginx web server and is shipped with the self-signed SSL certificate by default.
Because the certificate is issued to gateway.opsramp.com
and your domain is not part of *.opsramp.com
, the invalid certificate message is displayed.
To avoid the message, you need to upload a valid SSL certificate.
Upload SSL certificates
If your organization has a valid SSL certificate, you can upload your valid SSL certificate. Verify that the SSL certificate file is in .pem
format and contains the certificate and private key.
- Log into the gateway interface.
- From the left pane, click the Nginx SSL Configuration option.
- Upload your certificate on the SSL Certificate Configuration screen.
- Click Restart to apply the changes.
If you want to use the default gateway SSL certificate, click Reset.
Access gateways with SSL certificates
If your organization has a valid certificate issued to *.yourcompany.com
and your gateway is part of the domain and the hostname of the gateway is host1
, then you can access the gateway directly without using the IP address.
For example: Use https://host1.yourcompany.com:5480
to access the gateway.
