Vaisala viewLinc 4.3 - Manual (Page 175)

Installing viewLinc
viewLinc 4.3 4 | 4 167
6 Copy viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt, and viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key,
into the config\keys folder. The viewlinc.cfg should be updated with
the new names.
7 Restart viewLinc. The https web server will be available to use with
the new SSL certificate files.
To create a key and certificate signed by a Certificate Authority
(CA):
Note: The key names by convention should be the domain name of
the server. If the URL to access the server is
https://viewlinc.bigpharma.com/ then the filenames should
be: viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key, and, viewlinc.big-
pharma.com.crt
1 Create a private key. The file created by this command contains the
private RSA key to be used by viewLinc:
openssl genrsa -out viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key 2048
2 Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file.
Note: This file contains the certificate request details, and is not
required by viewLinc (it is only an intermediate step).
3 Create a configuration file called SSLConfig.txt containing your cer-
tificate details, for example:
[ req ]
distinguished_name= req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName = CA
stateOrProvinceName = British Columbia
localityName = Vancouver
organizationName = Big Pharma Inc.
organizationalUnitName = Big Pharma Unit
commonName = viewlinc.bigpharma.com
emailAddress = [email protected]
