The process of uploading a custom SSL certificate enables the utilization of a private key to establish secure communication via HTTPS with RemoteEye ESS. This will supersede the default certificate previously in use.

  1. Fill out the OpenSSL CSR Command Generator under Settings > Security > HTTPS > Custom SSL, copy, paste, and execute the command on a terminal in a separate machine.

  2. Submit the certificate signing request (CSR) created to a Certificate Authority (CA) server. Export the issued certificate in Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) format.
  3. Click the "Download" button to download the system CA Certificate Template. The file will be downloaded as "toshiba_tmp.crt" template file. Please change the file extension to a ".pem" file.
  4. Open the ".key" file generated in step one in a text editor. Copy the private key from the ".key" file and paste it to replace the private key section in the ".pem" template file.
  5. Copy the exported system CA server certificate (.cer) file created in step two and paste it inside the certificate section in the ".pem" file. Save and close the ".pem" file.
  6. Go to the "HTTPS" section under the "Security" setting page and upload the created PEM file. Wait about one minute, re-open the browser, and reach the RemotEye ESS web server via HTTPS. A secured connection should be established.
