Hello,

 

I have production enviroment with supervisor,collector and windows agents.I am using self-signed certificate for web acccess to supervisor. I need to use certificate digitaly signed with my own private CA so when i access fortisiem to not getting warning.

 

Does anyone have solution how to generate csr,sign it, and import certiciate in suppervisor to be used for web (because there is no option in GUI like for example in fortigate).

Also if i do that will it have impact for communication collector to supervisor, or agent to collector ?

 

Thanks everyone

      Thank you. If i follow this steps and replace self-signed with new digitaly signed certificate by my CA, will that create some impact on existing communication between collector--supervisor, and between agents--collector.

      Note: everything is discovered and login in collector and agents is also connected to collector.

      I'm not sure, as I haven't worked with it for a few years. I just had that link readily available when I saw your post. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
      Please study the technical tip: How to check communication between collector and super from collector side that's linked in the previously shared link, as well as the documentation for the FortiSIEM version you're using, e.g. for 7.5.0: Configuring SSL Socket Certificates
