WebAdmin Console¶

Install/Change SSL Certificates¶

With Files¶

For all modern version of LiteSpeed Web Server (v5.2+), LSWS reads the following files for its WebAdmin SSL configuration:

• Certificate File: /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/cert/admin.crt
• Key File: /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/cert/admin.key
• CABundle: /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/cert/admin.cabundle

This configuration can be changed at any time by replacing these files directly.
Make sure the files are owned by lsadm:lsadm. This can be achieved by running the following command:

chown -R lsadm:lsadm /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/cert/*

Perform a graceful restart after making any changes. The changes will be applied, and the WebAdmin Console will begin using the newly-supplied certificate.

Within WebAdmin Console¶

You can update SSL certificates from the WebAdmin Console for any version of LiteSpeed Web Server.

1. Log in to the WebAdmin Console and navigate to Web Console > Listeners.
2. Click View/Edit for the adminListener
   
3. In the General tab, click Edit and change Secure from No to Yes. Then hit Save.
   
4. Click on the SSL tab, hit Edit under the SSL Private Key & Certificate section, and add the following:
   • Private Key File: Path to the private key file, for example, /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/ssl.key
   • Certificate File: Path to the certificate file, for example, `/usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/ssl.cert
   • Chained Certificate: Yes
   • CA Certificate File: Path to the CA certificate file, for example, /usr/local/lsws/admin/conf/ssl.bundle !!! note Make sure that these files can be read by lsadm. If not, run chown lsadm:lsadm on each file so that the WebAdmin Console can read these files.
     
5. Save and perform a Graceful Restart of the web server. The Web Admin GUI should now be using the non-self-signed certificate.
