help with ssl certificate

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have a wildcard SSL certification for my domain (which was created with openssl and signed by a known CA) and I was trying to use it with Wowza. I’m not sure what should go in keystorepath, is it just the cert? The cert and the PEM key that I have for this cert? When I just put in the cert and try to connect via HTTPS (for cupertino streaming) I get:

Connecting to 127.0.0.1:443… connected.

OpenSSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

Unable to establish SSL connection.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dan,

Take a look at this guide:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-request-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-certificate-authority

I really don’t know. I might try accessing using different tools. I have not had good luck with self-signed certs.

I actually also followed that guide and created a self signed cert, still getting the problem (trying to retrieve using wget)

keytool -printcert -v -file /Users/dan/off/fandor/certificates/f/out.cert

I’m sure that’s not the problem. I’m loathe to pay for another cert until I can see that this works, wget works fine with self signed certs for webservers. Here’s an example of using it against a self-signed cert…

wget https://repository.fandor.com

–16:53:04-- https://repository.fandor.com/

=> `index.html’
