This file contains the certificate request details, and as such
is not required by viewLinc. It is an intermediate step.
Create a configuration file called SSLConfig.txt containing
your certificate details, E.G.:
[ req ]
distinguished_name= req_distinguished_name
prompt = no
[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName = CA
stateOrProvinceName = British Columbia
localityName = Vancouver
organizationName = Big Pharma Inc.
organizationalUnitName = Big Pharma Unit
commonName = viewlinc.bigpharma.com
emailAddress = [email protected]
run this command:
openssl req -new -key
viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key -out
viewlinc.bigpharma.com.csr -config
SSLConfig.txt

Create a Certificate (CRT) file
The CSR file must be snt to the Certificate Authority. This
may be you own IT deprtment, or it may be a commercial CA,
EG Thawte , Symantec etc. They will produce a signed,
trusted certificate file viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt
The two files viewlinc.bigpharma.com.crt and
viewlinc.bigpharma.com.key should be copied into the
config\keys folder. The viewlinc.cfg should be updated with
the new names
Restart viewLinc. The https web server will be available.
Connecting to viewLinc.
For the example above, the URL
connection would be:
https://viewlinc.bigpharma.com/
or if port 2443 was used instead of the default,
https://viewlinc.bigpharma.com:2443/
