Hi guys,

I'm sorry I'm no expert when it comes to certificates. I can get by on Windows but this is my first time doing it on Linux.

I'm trying to follow option A here https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Installation_Manual_for_2.18_on_Ubuntu#Implement_Option_A_.28SSL.29

I have these files from a public certificate authority:

Full cert chain (end-entity + intermediates + root): PKCS#7 (.p7b) · PEM (.cer)

Alternative PEM-encoded links: end-entity only · bundled intermediates + root only


I tried running this command below to convert my .CER to a .PEM file but now I'm stuck since I don't have a .KEY file

openssl x509 -in /etc/ssl/certs/webwork_csn_edu.cer -out /etc/ssl/certs/webwork_csn_edu.pem


If you need further information. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Ryan

There are explicit directions for working with an AWS instance, Google Domains and an Let's Encrypt certificate at https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/WeBWorK_2.18_Ubuntu_Server_22.04_LTS_Amazon_Machine_Image#Set_up_WeBWorK_to_use_SSL
Some information there might be of help.

Thank you, I was able to follow the LetsEncrypt instructions and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks again for the reply.
