Hi Daemien, Exactly not sure if this will work but I would try this: - Generate a self signed cert and key ( remove passphrase while creating this key ) - Put them inside /opt/gluu-server-3.x.x/etc/certs as 'httpd.crt' and 'http.key' - Try to start Gluu server - If it starts and if you can login: - Grab your real key and cert ( remove passphrase from key this time ) - Follow doc on how to install apache cert.
