Out of the box your QNAP allows secure access to the administration interface however this is a generic certificate which displays and alert or error message.<\/p>\n

To remove the alert or error message you can apply a certificate which has be issued by a trust authority such as Verisign, GeoTrust or Go-Daddy. The following steps describes how this can be achieved;\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First generate a certificate signing request (CSR) using Internet Information Server (IIS) – more info here: http:\/\/www.verisign.com\/support\/mpki-for-ssl-support\/flash\/How%20to%20Generate%20a%20CSR%20using%20IIS%206_v1.htm<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Complete the registration by pasting the CSR output into your chosen trust authority registration site<\/li>\n
  3. Once the registration is complete you will receive Certificate (.CER)which can be import into back into IIS<\/li>\n
  4. Once Certificate is imported and working in IIS, Export the Certificate to a PFX file with a pass-phrase you your computer<\/li>\n
  5. Download and installextract \u00a0OpenSSL from http:\/\/gnuwin32.sourceforge.net\/packages\/openssl.htm<\/li>\n
  6. Run the following command “openssl.exe pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nodes -out filename.key”<\/li>\n
  7. Edit filename.key in NotePad this KEY file will contain the Certificate information required by your QNAP.<\/li>\n
  8. Logon to the QNAP, then navigate to System Administration – Security –\u00a0Import SSL Secure Certificate Tab<\/li>\n
  9. Paste the related Key contents onto your QNAP\n
      \n
    1. certificate in X.509PEM \u00a0will require the (—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–)\u00a0section<\/li>\n
    2. private key in X.509PEM \u00a0will require the (—–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—–)section<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now test to see if you can access the QNAP Administration Interface using SSL (HTTPS:\/\/xxx<\/a>)<\/p>\n

      If you upload an incorrect secure certificate, you may not be able to login the server via SSL. To resolve the problem, Login using the none sure URL then restore the secure certificate to default and access the system again. (Logon to the QNAP using HTTP, then navigate to System Administration – Security –\u00a0Import SSL Secure Certificate Tab – Restore Default Certificate)<\/p>\n
