SSL Cert Installation for caba.mmm.com
Every 2 years the certificate on the FM server will need to be updated
3m IT will need to download and send you a copy of the cert and the corresponding password to you.
You will receive one file, (it should be in .pem format) via Venafi ( 3M's tool for managing SSL) This file will contain data for the 3 different files you need to create.
This will be something like caba.mmm.com.pem
Use this file to create the 3 files that filemaker requires, create 3 copies of the caba.mmm.com.pem file and name them as follows (these are all basically just text files)
cert.pem
privkey.pem
intermediate.crt
Using a text editor (NOT Microsof word) edit each file
Edit cert.pem
remove the last section ( RSA key info)
Save
The cert.pem will contain the actually cert details as well as the intermediate cert info ( and yes the intermediate cert info will ALSO be in it's own file)
The First block will be the actual certificate into, the next 3 blocks will be the intermediate cert info
Edit privkey.pem
Remove everything BUT the last section ( RSA key info)
Save
Edit intermediate.crt
Remove the first"cert" portion and the last section ( RSA key info)
Save
Upload/Download Files to/from AWS S3 CABA "Bucket"
Use your existing account on AWS (S3 Service) to upload the files from your local machine to the CABA Server.
The Remote in using Microsoft Remote desktop into the CABA Server, login to the AWS S3 and download the files.
