Certificate issues

Patrick Conrad

I have a windows server that uses .cert certificate that is issued to my server and is mapped :443 to the main IIS application. How can I use this cert to the jsreport server?
If I convert the cert to .pfx will that kill the cert that is installed?
As this is only being used for communication between my application and jsreport will a self-signed cert work?

And the IIS acts as a reverse proxy and forwards request to the jsreport app running as a windows service?

Or jsreport is just an internal standalone application, and you communicate with it from your IIS application?

jsReport is a standalone application that I am communicating to from the IIS application.

So maybe you don't need https for this internal communication? However, you can configure jsreport to listen on https this way

https://jsreport.net/learn/configuration#web-server-configuration

"certificate": {
    "key": "certificates/jsreport.net.key",
    "cert": "certificates/jsreport.net.cert"
}

jsreport will be able to start also with self signed certs, but your client will need to be configured to accept it.
