Problem

How do I setup an SSL Communication For Admin Server Certificate in Validation Authority 4.12.2?

Resolution

1.) Login to VA Admin UI

2.) Go to Keys and Certificates -> Create/Import Private Key -> SSL Communication For Admin Server and click on Submit Key Type

a.) Select Generate/Import Software Key (Or Hardware Key) and Click Submit Key Generation Technique

b.) Select Generate new private key (or import) -> Click Submit Key Generation Or Import

c.) *Server Password: Enter in password you use to start VA Server (not the admin UI password). Then fill in information and click Submit

7.) Start a command prompt as administrator and call apachepassphrase:

apachepassphrase -set "<VA Server password>"

This sets the password in the registry. The Apache HTTP server will read it from there using apachepassphrase during startup automatically. In VA 4.12.2 it is not necessary anymore to enter this password manually when the admin service is restarted.

8.) Restart “Axway VA Admin” service in the Service Control Panel
