One of our client is using self-signed certificate, So on wget URL below error is displayed
ERROR: cannot verify hostname certificate, issued by “XXXXXXXX”:
Self-signed certificate encountered.
To connect to hostname insecurely, use ‘--no-check-certificate’.
On doing some research, found that need to trust the certificate as CA is self-signed.
Please let me know how to add the certificate to trust store,
Os version is:
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer
Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9 (Santiago)
Later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 can use the update-ca-trust tool to manage the system certificate store (which is also used by wget). You can use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 documentation for guidance:
Using Shared System Certificates
The main difference is that on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, you need to enable this trust store using update-ca-trust enable first.

When my ASP.NET website is running on a windows 7 box, it can connect (programmatically as a "client") to an SSL-encrypted service ("server") on another windows 7 machine just fine.
But if my website is on the production box (windows server 2003), the service's windows log shows:
An TLS 1.0 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed.
(service is using a self-signed cert created by makecert.exe, but I can't see how to make makecert allow more cipher suites... or do I install something on the 2003 boxes...? This: https://serverfault.com/questions/166750 doesn't work for me because I am not using a CSR)
The solution was to generate my certificate again, this time forcing RSA and SHA1 (though SHA1 should be the default anyway). For some reason Win Server 2k3 couldn't or wouldn't use the right ciphers with a default makecert certificate. Here is the command line that worked for me:
makecert -pe -r -ss my -sr localMachine -n "CN=domainnameoripaddressgoeshere.com" -e 01/01/2098 -a sha1 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12
For details see http://mgowen.com/2013/06/19/cipher-suites-issue/ and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bfsktky3(v=vs.110).aspx .
If anyone finding this does want to know about cipher suites though, here's some stuff I found along the way that may help you:
You can add two RSA cipher suites to windows server 2003 using this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948963
You can see which ciphers are supported in regedit (windows registry editor) under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers
You can use IIS Crypto (a free cipher config app, https://www.nartac.com/Products/IISCrypto/) to view and enable/disable ciphers (including those hotfix ciphers above).
I have asp.net site on my local machine.
IIS configuration:
binding: https binding with self-signed certificate,
ssl settings: Require SSL and Require client certificates
I have installed next certificates on my machine:
CA certificate (call it 'CA Center') in Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
Client certificate issued by 'CA Center' in Personal store
I go to site and accept server certificate. But next i get error:
HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden. The page you are attempting to access requires your browser to have a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes.
That means browser (IE) doesn't send applicable client certificates to server.
What's wrong? Should I configure something else?
I had exactly this problem, and it took me an age to figure out the cause. Turned out it was because my computer was part of a domain, and there was some sort of group policy for that domain was restricting the trusted root certificates that IIS would be willing to accept. I don't know exactly what the setting was or how to alter it, but I found I could work around it by choosing to install my certificate into the enterprise physical store using the certutil command:
certutil -addstore -v -enterprise root CertificateAuthority.cer
It sounds like the browser never prompted you to select a client certificate to send which means something is incorrect with the SSL Handshake. Try testing this with OpenSSL.
Additionally, a very common problem is having too many certificates in the Trusted Root CA folder. When the server sends the list of CAs, there is a limit to how large the list can be so if it exceeds the limit, it will truncate the remaining CA certificates. Make sure the Trusted Root CA folder doesn't have too many certificates. One way to check this is temporarily modifying the SCHANNEL in the registry editor to not send the CA List, and then re-try.
Start > Run > 'regedit' > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL >
right-click > New > DWORD > 'SendTrustedIssuerList' > Value:0
Re-install the certificates and check their effective dates. From Microsoft Support:
Download the root server certificate in a browser on the server
computer. Run the Iisca.exe command line utility that is located in
the Inetsrv directory.
Check the effective date on the client certificate and make sure that
the date and time has arrived.
Check the expiration date and make sure that the certificate has not
expired. Contact your certificate authority to see if your
certificate has expired.
I have a website on our Internal network that is also accessible to the public. I have purchased and installed an SSL certificate for that public site. The site is available using both https://site.domain.com (Public) and https://site.domain.local (Internal).
The problem I am having is creating and installing a self-signed certificate for the internal "site.domain.local" so that people on our internal network do not get the security warning. I have a keystore in the root folder and also created a self-signed certificate in that keystore with no luck. The public key is working just fine. I am running Debian linux with Tomcat 7 installed and I am also using Active Directory on the network with Microsoft DNS. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more details, please ask.
Not sure I fully understand your set-up, but you could front your Tomcat with Apache, install the cert on the Apache instance and then do a Reverse-Proxy (plain http) to your Tomcat instance. People would access the Apache instance which would handle the SSL connection.
One way would be to add the CA certificate in every client certificate trusted store (which is not convenient) : the client click on the certificate warning message and install/trust the self signed x509 CA certificate. If this doesn't work, there is a problem with the certificate (though most openssl generated stuff .CER/.CRT/.P12/.PFX will install with no problem under recent windows).
If one client accepts the self-signed certificate with manual setup, you can try to install these certificates with Active Directory ; basically you add trusted CA cert within your AD, and client automagically synchronize (nb: mostly on login) : See there for a hint about setting thing up with AD : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295663/en-us (You may try this or dig in that direction : with AD, you never know).
Another possibility would be to set up your internal DNS to point site.domain.com to the local web site address (the easy way). You can test this setup with you /etc/hosts file on linux/unix flavours (or system32/drivers/etc/hosts on windows flavours)
If your certificate is for site.domain.com and users are going to site.domain.local and getting that cert, then clearly there is a name mismatch and the browser will always warn you.
You either need to :
get the cert regenerated with BOTH names
get a cert for just the internal site
mangle DNS so that when your internal users go to site.domain.com
they get the IP address of site.domain.local.
I am trying to use SSL and certificates with a web service (IIS 7, Windows 2008, .NET framework 3.5 SP1). I followed the basic instructions (http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis-7/) and was able to get the site running soon. However, I can only connect to it from a client if the client has the web server's certificate in its Trusted Root Certification Authorities/Certificates store. If I don't add the certificate on the client site, I get the error "Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel with authority" on trying to connect to the service from client.
That's the correct behavior if you're just using self-signed test certificates. In a public/production environment, your server's certificate would be issued by a common CA like GoDaddy or VeriSign, which you have to pay to obtain.
Most (client) machines already have a large list of updated CA in their trusted root such as GoDaddy, and so a server certificate signed by them for your site will validate as a valid certificate on most* machines (without you needing to provide your cert as a trusted root).
*Most, meaning that there are browsers & operating systems which may be missing (or need updates) on common certificate authorities in their trusted root store.
Where did you get this certificate? If it's not a child of one of the certificates in the root authority already I sure hope you didn't pay money for it. If you're generating them yourself this isn't surprising because nobody trusts your CA server.
I am trying to configure security on a certificate using the WSE X.509 Certificate Tool version 2.0. The certificate is installed in the local computer personal certificate store.
On one of our web servers choosing "Local Computer" for Certificate Location does not present an option for "Personal" in the store name dropdown. This option does appear on our other web servers.
Any idea why the personal certificate store is not visible?
