CERTIFICATE (HTTPS)

By default, Canary generates a self-signed certificate for its services that require a secure connection. These can be reconfigured if wishing to use a different certificate that has been installed on the server. Clicking the INFO button will open a new window displaying the certificate's details.

• Kind - the kind of certificate the Axiom service is configured to use
  • SelfSignedCertificate - this is the default certificate that Canary uses. It is stored in the Local Computer\Personal store.
  • Certificate - use this option if wishing to upload your own certificate. Doing so will present more options to configure.

    

    • Store Name - the local computer store name where the certificate is installed
    • Find Type - criteria by which the Axiom service searches for the certificate
      • FindBySubjectName
      • FindByThumbprint
      • FindByTemplateName
• Subject Name - set to 'default' if using the SelfSignedCertificate option. Otherwise, the value of the Subject, Thumbprint, or Template name if using the Certificate setting.

If wishing to make Axiom publicly accessible over the internet, a valid certificate from a trusted CA must be installed.
