Stuck on finding bitnami install and installing certificate with the Bitnami HTTPS Configuration Tool

ongaku.sab 2021-01-25 19:26:12 UTC #1

Keywords: Nginx - AWS - Technical issue - Secure Connections (SSL/HTTPS)
Description:
Used the guide: https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/understand-bncert/
But it can't find the install in /opt/bitnami

The stack folder has
apps ctlscript.sh README.txt
bncert img scripts
bncert-tool letsencrypt sqlite
bnsupport licenses stats
bnsupport-regex.ini manager-linux-x64.run use_wordpresspro
bnsupport-tool mysql var
changelog.txt nginx varnish
common php
config properties.ini

and

~/stack/nginx/conf$ ls
bitnami mime.types.default server.csr
fastcgi.conf nginx.conf server.key
fastcgi.conf.default nginx.conf.default uwsgi_params
fastcgi_params privkey.pem uwsgi_params.default
fastcgi_params.default sample_domain_host.conf vhosts
koi-utf scgi_params win-utf
koi-win scgi_params.default
mime.types server.crt

So bncert-tool was installed but now I am not sure how to get the installer to run so I can get a new certificate. I am using Approach B: Self-contained installation.
But it asks me for bitnami location and I am unsure where that is since it isn't in /opt/bitnami or when I say /stack

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @ongaku.sab,

thanks for using Bitnami. If you check the note of the documentation you share appears:

NOTE: This tool is only supported on 64-bit Linux operating systems. It cannot be used to configure HTTPS certificates for NGINX Web servers.

To configure the SSL you have to follow the alternative approach https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/#alternative-approach

Regards,
Ibone.

Thanks!

Now I am creating an SSL for this approach but stuck on
sudo openssl rsa -des3 -in /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.key -out privkey.pem
writing RSA key
Enter PEM pass phrase:

No clue what the pass phrase is.. Should I download the pem file in the directory nginx/conf? Can I use scp to do this?
What should I put as the pass phrase?

Thanks,
Marian

Hi @ongaku.sab

If you notice, the guide mentions this:

Back up your private key in a safe location after generating a password-protected version as follows:

The command you are running will basically create a backup file for your /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.key that is password protected. The pass phrase you are asked is the one that should be used to protect the file.

Best regards,
