Guide: Applying SSL Certificate to FortiSOAR

[kaashif_m]

Prerequisites

• A wildcard SSL certificate in .crt format.
• An unencrypted private key in .key format.

Ensure both files are ready for deployment.

Step 1: Transfer Certificate Files to FortiSOAR

1. Copy the SSL certificate and private key to your FortiSOAR server using a secure transfer method like scp.
2. Save them in a directory on the server,
   /home/cert/certificate.crt

   /home/cert/private.key

Step 2: Deploy the SSL Certificate

1. Log in to the FortiSOAR server via SSH with administrative privileges.
2. Run the following command to deploy the SSL certificate:
   enter the command

   csadm certs --deploy
3. When prompted:
   • Enter the path to the SSL certificate (e.g., /home/cert/certificate.crt).
   • Enter the path to the private key (e.g., /home/cert/private.key).

The command will apply the SSL certificate to FortiSOAR's Nginx server.

Step 3: Verify the SSL Certificate

1. Open a web browser and navigate to the FQDN or IP address of your FortiSOAR server.
2. Ensure the connection is secured, and the SSL certificate is valid.
   • Verify the certificate details to confirm it matches the wildcard domain.
