Creating windows compatible certificate

Get attracs.com certificate from DigiCert. This is currently managed by Ahola IT (Vesa Ulvi)

This is Windows RDS environment so certificate needs to be .PFX format. If the certificate you have is on format DigiCertCA.crt and star_attracs_com.crt you need to first combine these two in to one .crt

cat DigiCertCA.crt start_attracs_com.crt > attracs_2023_windows.crt

After doing this you can use the attracs_2023_windows.crt with attracs.key (This attracs.key is located in https://github.com/Attracs/attracs-linux-playbooks/tree/master/frontend/files/cert , needs to be decrypted before use)

openssl pkcs12 -export -in attracs_2023_windows.crt -inkey attracs_2022.key -out attracs_2023_windows.pfx

You can put password to certificate, if you do remember to store it in 1password!

to check that the certificate creating worked you should run command

openssl pkcs12 -info -in attracs_2023_windows.pfx
