What is the issue you’re encountering

Cloudflare Cert Needs to contain Public & Private Keys

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Hi,

The server I am trying to upload the certificate keeps failing because it says the private and public keys are not contained.

Here is what the manual says.

Users need to upload the valid certificate on the Hikcentral Web Client and the file format must be “.pem”. The “.pem” file includes a public key and a private key. Usually, the user will apply for their own certificate from a third-party certificate authority. What they should provide us is their public key and private key.

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Off

It sounds like you need to save both files that Cloudflare gives you into a single file. Have you tried that?

Cloudflare does not even give me a file, I have to copy and paste the code into a notepad and save it as .pem

Yes, that’s correct. Have you done that?

5

I did, but as I mentioned the server is not accepting it because it says it does not contain the public and private keys… So I need to know where to find those keys

You just said you saved the keys to the file.

Your file looks like this?

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(content)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
(content)
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

I only have begin and end certificate. No keys

Did you create an Origin certificate or a Client certificate?

I have both, you cannot download or see any code for the client cert, with the origin certificate, I can see the code but it’s only , no keys shown

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
