copied!<p>In order to make self-signed certificates work with the Flex uploader, the server certificate must be signed by a Certificate Authority whose CA Certificate is then installed in Internet Explorer's <strong>Trusted Root Certification Authorities Certificate Store</strong>. This actually is quite easy to accomplish.</p> <p>Start at <strong>(1B) Generate your own CA (Certificate Authority)</strong> on this web page: <a href="http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign.html" rel="nofollow">Creating Certificate Authorities and self-signed SSL certificates</a> and generate your CA Certificate and Key. Once you have these, generate your Server Certificate and Key. Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and then sign the Server Key with the CA Certificate. Now install your Server Certificate and Key on the web server as usual, and import the CA Certificate into Internet Explorer's Trusted Root Certification Authority Store (used by the Flex uploader and Chrome as well) and into Firefox's Certificate Manager Authorities Store on each workstation that needs to access the server using the self-signed, CA-signed server key/certificate pair.</p> <p>You now should not see any warning about using self-signed Certificates as the browsers will find the CA certificate in the Trust Store and verify the server key has been signed by this trusted certificate. Also in e-commerce applications like Magento, the Flex image uploader will now function in Firefox without the dreaded "Self-signed certificate" error message.</p>
