Generating new SAML webApp SSL Certificate

Generate new SAML webApp SSL Certificate

Issue

SSL Certificate used by a SAML webApp has expired and needs to be updated.


Solution

The admin will need to generate a new certificate, through the webAdmin Dashboard, and provide it to the Application Provider.

  1. Open webAdmin Dashboard.
  2. Expand Applications Admin.
  3. Select the SAML webApp.
  4. Select the Authentication tab.
  5. Click the Configure button.

  6. On the SAML Configuration page.
  7. Scroll down to the Signing Certificate section.
  8. Click the Generate Certificate button.



  9. Fill in the Certificate Generation Wizard fields.

    For the Common Name, we suggest using the applicationname.cloud.domain format (example: clever.example-cloud.com).
    For the State name, spell out the full name.
    For the Country Name, use the 2-character abbreviation.
    For the Signature Algorithm, use SHA256 with RSA (unless otherwise directed by the Application Provider).
    For the Strength, use 2048 (unless otherwise directed by the Application Provider).

  10. Click the Generate Button.
  11. Click the Overwrite Button, you should see a message that the certificate was saved.
  12. Click the Export PEM button to save a copy of the certificate.
  13. Close the SAML Configuration page browser window.
  14. Close webAdmin Dashboard.

  15. Provide the Application Provider a copy of the exported certificate file for them to update their side.
