APPENDIX A: UPLOADING SSL SECURITY CERTIFICATES
A.1.5 MANUALLY REPLACING THE HTTPS CERTIFICATE FOR APS
If you cannot upload the .PEM, manually replace the HTTPS certificate of APS HTML UI on Windows.
To manually replace the certificate:
1. Create the correct PEM file.
(If necessary, ask your local system administrator for help with this process or follow the previous instructions.)
2. Stop all APS services using the Server Manager: Service menu / Stop service.
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Black Box\AKCess Pro Server\bin\SSL.
4. Make a backup of the existing http_cert.pem file.
5. Copy your custom .pem file there.
6. Delete the old http_cert.pem file.
CAUTION: Don't delete "server.pem".
7. Rename your custom .pem to http_cert.pem.
8. Start all APS services again using the Server Manager.
9. Open the APS HTML UI and verify your SSL certificate has been replaced.
NOTE: The HTTPS issues discussed above are not problems with our server software or AlertWerks gateways. They
are caused by a generic security feature in third-party web browsers that we cannot control.
Moreover, f you decide to use the manual replace method, it is your responsibiltiy to manage your own HTTPS
certificates in order to access our product's web user interface.
