I've been posting alot so thanks for answering everything so quickly, you guys rock. I've followed the steps covered in the [Certificate Management/Installation](https://gluu.org/docs/ce/admin-guide/certificate/) section and it works perfectly. My question is, is there a way to pass the private/public keys to gluu during the installation step? I see in the `.properties` file there is a reference to cert locations, but I'm not sure if referencing a file outside the install directory is a good idea? relevant section ``` ... installCas=False setup_properties_fn=./setup.properties apache2_ssl_conf=./output/https_gluu.conf httpdCertFn=/etc/certs/httpd.crt application_max_ram=6000 idp3_dist_jar=http\://ox.gluu.org/maven/org/xdi/oxShibbolethStatic/3.0.1/oxShibbolethStatic-3.0.1.jar oxauth_static_conf_json=./output/oxauth-static-conf.json ... ```

Lot of things are possible with Open source software like Gluu software, however the question is... do everyone need what they see or can they handle custom configurations by themselves? In most cases I have seen that they can't and ask for Gluu support. From our side we really love to see these innovative ways of using Gluu but we can't help everyone to meet their custom setup due to community support limitations. Now.. to answer your question, personally I never tried to do so, so can't answer properly. Please feel free to try how that goes. I think you might need to put your cert and key inside 'output' directory before running 'setup.py' in this case.

Good answer, and that's all I wanted, just a pointing in the right direction. I managed to get it to work by bringing down the server using a script, but I'd be nicer to just have it done at install time. Thanks
