  1. Create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and Private Key files. To do this, you need to know the:

    • Two-letter country identifier of the installation (for example, US, GB)

    • State or area

    • Location (usually the city)

    • Name of your organization

    • Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) you want j5 to serve from. (This is used as the common name in the certificate.)

    For example:

    To generate a CSR file for j5.example.com.csr using the private key j5.example.com.key, our country (ZA), our state (Western Cape), and our location (Cape Town):

    "C:\Program Files\j5\framework\bin\KeyManager.exe" create-csr j5.example.com.csr j5.example.com.key -c ZA -s "Western Cape" -l "Cape Town" -o "Hexagon j5 ZA" --fqdn "j5.example.com"

    The –fqdn option (Fully Qualified Domain Name) defaults to the configured j5 Server Name, if it isn’t supplied in the command.

  2. Sign the CSR file (j5.example.com.csr in our example).

  3. Import the certificate. Refer to the instructions here: Configure HTTPS
