Not secure https connection

General Discussions

I try to conenct to Plex via https. The server stops telling it is a ‘Not Secure’ Connection.
When opening it gives me the Plex certificate (see pics attached) Would you please check you SSL/TLS configuration.
I do have a valid certifica (A+) from Let’s Encrypt

The certificate you are showing is from Plex.
It is of course not valid for your custom domain name www.wo-lar.com

For that, you have to point Plex server to your own certificates

Thanks for pointing me to this. But still not working.
My setup: Plex on CENTOS 7 home server.
I made the following:

  1. Created a PKCS#12 certificate: openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey privateKey.key -in certificate.crt
  2. Custom certificate location: path to certificate.pfx (password protected)
  3. Custom certificate encryption key: path to privateKey.key
  4. Custom certificate domain:
  5. Custom server access URLs: https://www.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Wolfgang

@“wp.rauchholz” said:
2) Custom certificate location: path to certificate.pfx (password protected)

When you created the certificate file, did you reference an intermediate -certfile [path to intermediate] in openssl pkcs12 ?
The produced certificate file needs to reference an intermediate cert/CA to establish a proper ‘chain of trust’.

Or so I was told. I am myself no expert in these matters, sorry!

  1. Custom certificate encryption key: path to privateKey.key

I was told that this needs the actual encryption passphrase, which was used when creating the PKCS#12 certificate file, not a key file.

The help article was changed now, to state this more precisely.
