My organization uses adobe connect across the internet and we would like to enable SSL on the server. I have instructions for enabling SSL once a CSR is generated, but I do not know how to actually generate the CSR using Adobe Connect.
Any info on how to generate a SSL CSR would be great, thanks.

    There is no 'built-in' method in Connect to do this. We used a open-source product called OpenSSL to generate our CSR file for Connect. Just Google OpenSSL and download/install it (it's free). Then use something like this command for creating a cert:

    openssl
    req -new -key <exisiting private key file> -out <csr file you want to make>

    Example:
    OpenSSL> req -new -key privatekey.pem -out connectcert.csr

    After you get the new certificate from the CA, put in d:\breeze directory. Then update the adaptor.xml file with the new cert name (make sure backup the existing file).

    Make sure you REBOOT the server to enable changes! Simply restarting services will not work.

    Hope this helps!
