How to transfer SSL from Windows to Linux server in shared hosting? -
i've found tutorials transferring ssl windows linux server such 1 here: https://major.io/2007/03/23/exporting-ssl-certificates-from-windows-to-linux/. possible in shared hosting because in shared hosting apache configuration may not allowed?
well possible transfer ssl certificate windows (iis) environment linux (apache) environment. within shared hosting environment, (at least majority of them) not possible install ssl certificate hosting account without of hosting provider. ssl installation requires ip allocated domain within server's configuration, unless deployed sni, , virtualhost entry routing requested port 443 (tls/ssl) domain on ip have created. needless these configurations affect server whole , chargeable services providers not provide direct access this. if provider uses plesk
or cpanel
or vdeck
case.
that being said worth money have hosting provider complete configuration , related services pretty cheap. providers average around $20.00 per year services required have ssl function on servers.
i request information provider regarding installation see if right solution you.
as note windows (iis) ssl certificates commonly pkcs#12/pfx formated. pkcs#12 or pfx format binary format storing server certificate, intermediate certificates, , private key in 1 encryptable file. pfx files have extensions such .pfx , .p12. pfx files typically used on windows machines import , export certificates , private keys. linux (apache) use pem formatted certificates.the pem format common format certificate authorities issue certificates in. pem certificates have extentions such .pem, .crt, .cer, , .key. base64 encoded ascii files , contain "-----begin certificate-----" , "-----end certificate-----" statements. server certificates, intermediate certificates, , private keys can put pem format.
apache , other similar servers use pem format certificates. several pem certificates, , private key, can included in 1 file, 1 below other, platforms, such apache, expect certificates , private key in separate files.
i not bother conversion prior contacting hosting provider can obtain pkcs#12/pfx certificate , covert when installing on server. should have provide pkcs#12/pfx formatted certificate.
