I think I have the certificate setup correctly now but now I need to configure the host port to use 443. I don’t see anywhere in the file where its listing 443 or do I have to change an existing one? ---

It’s in the SSL doc how to add port 443. Here you go!

Ok well then that is a little more involved, but you can still go in and configure it with port 443. Steps are different though: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-import-an-existing-ssl-certificate-and-private-key#configure-a-host-port-to-use-the-certificate6](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-import-an-existing-ssl-certificate-and-private-key#configure-a-host-port-to-use-the-certificate6) This might help as well with some of the keystore path instructions: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-connect-to-wowza-streaming-engine-manager-over-https](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-connect-to-wowza-streaming-engine-manager-over-https) If you need a hand, please feel free to submit a ticket and an engineer can assist! ---

Hello Rose, I work with Andrew and it looks like I will need to purchase digicerts for our 2 Wowza streaming computers. I am not sure which ones to choose that would be the easiest for me to install. Could you help me out on this? I could send you our licenses on a separate email. Thank you so much in advance for any help and advice.
