Hello,

We have few Wowza AMI instances and I recently learned that we are not eligible for the free StreamLock certificate. But I found the following article: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-request-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-certificate-authority](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-request-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-certificate-authority) that lists the steps for SSL certificate. We have a wild card certificate from GoDaddy (normal crt for our top level domain) and I tried to import them into our wowza instance (using keytool). but for some reason RTMPS or for that matter SSL streaming doesn’t seem to work. The following are the steps I took

sudo keytool -import -alias root -trustcacerts -file chain.crt -keypass keypass -keystore \<keystore\_name\> -storepass

sudo keytool -import -alias wowza -trustcacerts -file wild-card.crt -keypass keypass -keystore \<keystore\_name\> -storepass

Modified VHost through the admin panel

The logs don’t indicate any connection or any output when we try to play those videos.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If anybody has the same issue, please follow the steps below to get RTMPS working with your own certificate.

1. Convert your 3rd party certificate to java format as given here: [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod\_mbox/tomcat-users/200409.mbox/%3C4150C297.8030802@ddai.net%3E](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200409.mbox/%3C4150C297.8030802@ddai.net%3E)

2. Edit your VHost.xml file and include the following under tag:

${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/server.p12

PKCS12

TLS

SunX509

1. restart vhost/wowzaengine
