kamran | Hi
Hope everyone is well. Is there anybody who has setup EWB3 to run with SSL on an external REMOTE Windows Server ? I guess I would need to purchase a SSL certificate from somewhere and then install it into the windows server local machine account. If so are there any recomendations that work well with EWB3 for cert providers etc and how to go about it ? I had a look at lets encrypt but not sure if that would be able to work just yet with EWB3 ? cheers Kamran |

DFL | I was able to install the Lets Encrypt free cert on my remote windows server and have EWB 3 up and running. I am using a remote windows server through godaddy - not sure if that made a difference.

Yes - pretty much all of those will work, including Let's Encrypt and any other Web Server SSL cert. Let's encrypt is free but need to renew more often (though one can automate renewal) while you can get a SSL cert for 1 year for about $20 commercially. Raul |

kamran | Thanks Guys
It all loooks a bit complicated...nice to know that Lets encrypt will work with EWB3 apps. I looked into Lets Encrypt a bit further.. so it mainly refers to IIS installations...for securing web domain names. But in the case of EWB .. I guess its a cert for the ip address in question installed in the "Local Machine" account of the remote server. Are there any steps / guidelines / links on how to do this for EWB3 using Lets Encrypt ? On remote server to secure something like: https://123.456.789.1/projects/app1 https://123.456.789.1/projects/app2 etc. So the SSL would need to cover the above scenario. Cheers Kamran |

EWB3 uses certs in the windows cert store so this is very generic to windows in general. > But in the case of EWB ..

This has nothing to do with EWB - this is cert requirement. > Are there any steps / guidelines / links on how to do this for EWB3 using Lets Encrypt ? Pretty much any LE guide will work as long as cert ends up in the proper windows cert store. For example win-acme is an easy to get started with (https://www.win-acme.com/) and has manual and notes. > On remote server to secure something like: > https://123.456.789.1/projects/app1 > https://123.456.789.1/projects/app2 etc. > > So the SSL would need to cover the above scenario. As i said you cannot get a cert for IP - any CA issued cert needs to be for a domain you own. Raul |

Walter Matte Tactical Business Corporation | If you have an IP - you can get a domain name using DYNU.COM
Then you can get a cert with this name. Walter |
