WLC web-auth cert download error

[Josh Morris]

I cannot seem to get my SSL cert to install on my 5508 controller. I have tried a pfx, pem, and cer. With/without passwords. It transfers successfully, but does not install. And I only get "File transfer failed". I tried on both GUI and CLI.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure you use openssl ver .99 only to generate the pfx. Anything else will likely fail.

Josh:

What openssl version you use? ( rchicks: +5 for your nice answer).

Have you followed any doc to generate the cert?

Note: OpenSSL 0.9.8 is required as the WLC does not currently support OpenSSL 1.0.

check the following links as reference:

Ok, SO I have verified that we are generating the PFX with OpenSSL v. 0.9.8. This cert is still failing to install on the controller. Any other thoughts?

Here is the process I follow all the time. One thing also is that you need to specify a password on the cert which is required when you upload it to the WLC.
