OS X server SSL Certificate Edit button missing

Hello,
Just purchased a mac mini server with Mountain Lion server preinstalled. The initial setup with the wizard went smooth and have open directory setup and look good. When I went to connect to it with my macbook it gave me a SSL missing warning. Searches on the internet point to a SSL edit button under settings. For some reason it does not show up when I go to that location. Searched through the entire interface but i'm unable to find it. Can someone show me where I went wrong?
Thank you in advance

Hi All,
Aparently the answer lies within apache and a troublesome httpd.conf file, try this to get your button back.
Quit server.app
Go to Terminal:
cd /etc/apache2
sudo mv httpd.conf.default httpd.conf
sudo apachectl graceful
Start server.app
Presto!
Goodluck
Jeffrey

Why is the SSL Certificate "Edit" button disabled in Server Settings?

I just setup my Lion server and am attempting to create a self-signed certificate. All of the directions start with "Run the Server app, go to your server, click the setting tabs, and push the 'Edit' button next to SSL Certificate". Well, I can't because the button is disabled.
I have two theories. The first is that my network setup is messed up somehow. My server name is "server.mydomain.private". When I click on Configure Network, it shows that name and the proper IP address.
My second theory is that the SSL Certificate requires some other service, maybe Open Directory.
Anyway, I'm stumped. Any suggestions are welcome.

venblr, I saw that one too, tried it, but it didn't work. I think I deleted a certificate or something, which caused the problem in the first place. I'm going to finish reading some Lion Server books before starting from scratch by reinstalling Lion and then LIon Server. (I have a screen snap of earlier work and it shows the SSL Certificate "Edit" button enabled.)

SSL Certificate Edit

I have recently installed Server App on my mac mini running OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion). Everything is working fine except that I know longer see the line on the server setting screen that displays "SSL Certificate Edit...". How can I correct this problem?
Thanks,
David

Mine is the same. Aren't the certificates delt with in the "Certificates" section under "Alerts" ? I am just testing ML Server and have not fully set it up, but I think it has been moved to its own location.

SQL Server SSL Certificate

Hi All,
I am slowly getting to the bottom of applying SSL throughout my project but am stuck in the current situation and I need help please..
Project is a Java servlet running on Windows. Java 1.6 and Tomcat 7 but connects to a SQL Server database and an Oracle database (running on unix). We have a keystore set up successfully on the servlets' server with root, intermediate certificates etc
that successfully encrypts the connection to Oracle. The server team maintaining the server hosting the SQL Server database have supplied me with an SSL certificate, I am told is for accessing the SQL Server database. I am assuming it is a public key certificate.
I am trying to apply this certificate to encrypt the network traffic to the SQL Server database. I have attempted to import the certificate into the keystore mentioned above using the Java keytool but this does not work so I deleted the certificate from
the keystore again. I found the URL below which I have followed to install the certificate through MMC but cannot find how to now force Tomcat to encrypt the network traffic.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316898
Can someone please tell me what I am missing here please? There is loads of guidance on setting up keystores with root and intermediate certificates etc, but I cannot find any guidance on what to do in Tomcat to use a single provided SSL certificate. Do
I use the Java cacerts file and import the certificate in there?
Thanks in advance

Hi SQL Team - MSFT
Thank you for your response.
I have been looking at this further. I have only been given one SSL certificate which I am assuming because it has a file format of ".cer" it is the public key for the certificate on the server hosting the SQL server database. For this to work
they way we want, the "clients" will not have SQL Server Configuration Manager installed, but instead will have the SSL certificate mention above stored in a Keystore set up with the "Keytool" in the Java JRE.
I am unsure how the guys who manage the server hosting the SQL server database have set up the SSL certificate, i.e. if they have set up a root and intermediate certificate etc. I am currently trying to get information out of them (They are not
located immdiately near my location). I have a funny feeling they have not set up the SSL at their end correctly, and I am wondering if they have just imported into the servers browser, the same public key certificate they forwarded to me. When
you say "you have to first export the Trusted Root Certificate Authority from the server and import this to the client", what part of the SSL certificate(s) do you mean?
Do you mean the Certificate Authority root certificate and I have to import that into the client as well as the public key certificate?
I look forward to you next feedback.

Office Web Apps Server SSL Certificate

Hi
I am deploying Office Web App Server for Integration with Lync 2013. I opted for secure communication with SSL Certificate. I want this server available to internal and external users.
I am little confused over CA for Issuance of SSL Certificate. On most of the forums, I found SSL Certificate to be issued by Internal CA. If so, will this also work for external users?
If not, then plz guide me for Generating Certificate Request on Office Web App Server to be submitted to External CA for Issuance of Certificate.
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting in this forum.
I have moved this thread in Lync Server 2013-Management, Planning, and Deployment forum for more dedicated support.
Thanks for your understanding.

Search page edit button missing save & close

On my Search Center page, When I click Edit Page, the button on ribbon is missing the Save & Close button.
Any ideas?

forgot to mention, there is this error that pops up when I hover over the Edit button:
"This control is currently disabled. You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context."
I am a farm administration and site collection administrator so I know I have the permissions.
I am trying to edit the Search Center page, but since the "Save" option is missing, it won't save my changes.

Can't access Exchange ActiveSync server - SSL certificates not being used

When I try to set up my email via Exchange ActiveSync to a corporate server, I am unable to connect. I am using the same exact settings as on an iPhone, where I am able to successfully connect.
Reading the console log in the iPhone configuration utility, the problem appears to be that the iPad is not using the corporate certificates I have installed to enable SSL access to the Exchange server. These certificates are installed in the exact same way they are on my iPhone, where they work correctly.
Has anyone else had a similar problem accessing Exchange mail using SSL certificates? Any ideas on how to fix this? Or is this a bug in the iPad software?

IM having the same problem. iPhone works fine on exchange atvwork but iPad with same settings says cannot connect to exchange server. Have you figured anything out yet?

Snow Leopard Server - SSL Certificate Issue

Hi. I am hoping someone can shine some light into an issue I am currently experiencing with SSL Certificates on the Snow Leopard Server which hosts out websites. This past weekend an SSL certificate pertaining to our primary domain expired which caused users to receive error messages prior to accessing the website ... the error message stated "the site's security certificate has expired!"
I have since renewed the certificate via networksolutions.com and applied it on the Mac server. The certificate was applied successfully and i have added the certificate the sites along with restarting the apache to take in the settings. However, the certificate is not propagating out at all. I have also restarted the mac server as well in case there was something in the cache causing issues but unfortunately, the issue still exists.
I have also removed the certificate entirely and reapplied it from scartch to make sure the original certificate wasn't causing any issues.
Has anyone else incurred a similar issue or would anyone have any insight on how to possibly resolve the issue?
Thank you!

Just a quick update. the DNS seems fine but I am getting errors in the logs as follows.

Windows 8 Photo gallery can't start because Microsoft SQL server 2005 compact edition is missing?

I've installed & uninstalled MS SqlSever 2005 in my system (OS - Windows 8). When am try to access my photo gallery on desktop, I'm getting above mentioned error. How come photo gallery is dependent on MS SqlServer 2005 compact edition? Now,
I've installed & using MS SqlServer 2008.

ErikEJ,
I tried the link you provided and it points to the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition that will not install in Windows 8. IS there some other package you are trying to send us to? I cannot install / run Photo Gallery because it needs SQL Server 2005 Compact
Ed and the latter when run reports it is not compatible with my operating system, ie., Windows 8 Pro, x64.
Can you help?

Mail refuses to accept server SSL certificate

Hello,
yesterday I updated to 10.4.11 and everything works fine except one thing.
I've got 3 IMAP Accounts set up in Mail, all using SSL. While 2 of them still work one suddenly started to complain that the certificate is invalid.
It says:
The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "mail2.hitzemann.org". The error was:
The certficate for the server is invalid.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "mail2.hitzemann.org", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
If I click on "Show Certificate" Mail proudly tells me that the certificate is valid. Nevertheless I double checked the hostname, the expiration date, etc. I even generated a new class 1 certificate as the current one was a class 3 cert. But I didn't have any luck with this either. I also checked that my CA's root certificates are known to keychain in the X509Anchors.
If I boot my 10.4.10 backup everything's working like a charm again. So how to tell Mail not to complain about a certificate that's valid?

I'm having a similar problem. Only I've never had a digital signature. I got a Thawte certificate, followed all their instructions but Apple Mail doesn't recognize it. I've tried every forum solution for the last two days, without any luck.
Currently the certificate is in the System part of the Keychain. And it's showing up in both the Certificates and My Certificates sections. I've also tried variations of this setup. Nothing seems to get Mail to recognize the thing.

Edit button missing from SharePoint page.

I am unable to edit ONLY the search results page in SharePoint 2013. The Edit Page button simply does not appear:
I'm at a loss as to whether I have permissioned something incorrectly or if I've failed activate a feature. Every other page has this option on it. Only after making a search and being brought to the search results page do I face this limitation. What is
the issue?

Hi,
Where is your Search result page, is it in Search center site? May be please verify the permissions on Search center site.

How to install SSL certificate on Mac OS X 10.8.3 Server 2.2

Hi,
In eairler versions of !0.8 / OS X Server 2.2 your where able to install a purchased SSl certificate in the
Hardware >> Profile Manager Server >> Settings >> SSL Certificate Edit
I've just done a clean install of 10.8.3 and OS X Server 2.2 but there is no "SSL Certificate Edit" available.
How do I install my purchased certificate?
Thanks,
John

sorry for hijacking but I have a related question to do with certificates.
I had to set up virtual domains manually instead of through the GUI and the server ssl site is now locked to a certificate that is about to expire and no longer needed, I can't change the certificate in the web gui because it was created manually, I can't delete the certificate because it is assigned to the server ssl website and I can't manually edit the conf files to point to a different certificate becasue it breaks it, any ideas?

How to get the ssl-certificate trusted on lion-server

I'm in the process of setting up lion server to create a small (international) research group collaborating on a project.
So I want to use the server to exchange data, use a common calendar, address-book etc.
To do so you need to get a SSL-certiifcate (unless you do everything on VPN).
So I selected the server in server.app (Hardware) and selected SSL certificate edit
created a certificate signing request that I exported and saved on my computer
I received a ssl.crt that I also saved and dragged into the window and replace the original certificate with the signed one
and also imported the certificate in to the keychain
All following the steps described in:
Managing iOS deviceswith OS X Lion Server by Arek Dryer
the book describes that the certiifcate should now be trusted and valid. However, I keep the message "This certificate was signed by an unkown authority"
So I somehow did something wrong.
Any suggestions what I should do?

ok let me add some info in the hope I will get some guidance:
using the site http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html
I was able to check on the status of the certificate:
The certificate is not trusted in all web browsers. You may need to install an Intermediate/chain certificate to link it to a trusted root certificate. Learn more about this error. The fastest way to fix this problem is to contact your SSL provider.
since it is a non-commercial server I used a 'free?' SSL-certificate provider that will charge you when you contact them, so you have to figure it out by yourselve
I guess I would be helped if there is a step by step manual how to install a root certificate

I do not see SSL certificate warnings now a days, even when visiting sites that do not provide valid identity.

When visiting a website that has some kind of SSL certificate issue, like missing , untrusted or invalid certificate etc, the browser is supposed to show a warning message, which should warn us of potential hazards of visiting the website. I realised that my browsers have not shown such warning message for a really long time. Can anyone give me any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Satya

Do you get an error on this page: https://www.sothai.com/
Under Technical Details you should get:
www.sothai.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
www.jeffersonscher.com, jeffersonscher.com
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
If instead you get a real webpage, click the padlock icon in the address bar, then More Information, then View Certificate, and take a look at the "Issued by" section. What do you see there?

Portable class library - SSL certificate ignore support.

Hi,
We are developing mobile based project targeting to windows and ios platform.
1. Project has portable class library that is been shared among all this platforms.
2. We have asp.net web api services for data provider hosted on server with http and https (ssL) enabled.
3. We are successfully able to call web api methods using System.Net.HttpClient in portable class library and data is provided by the utility helper methods to all platforms.
4. Now based on the specific requirement we have to utilized https enabled service and we have to switch to ssl enabled call.
5. Based on my research over internet "ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback" is one we can use in .net native framework libraries but not available for portable libraries.
If anyone can help in this area that how can we make https call from portable class library.
Thanks in Advance,

Hello Brajesh,
As far as I know, in these currently released PCL, there seems to be no way to use the SSL certificate for http request.
My suggestion is that you could invite your friends or colleagues to vote this idea in below link(someone else already psot this request to the team):
