Save the keystore file and copy it to the Unifi controller. Create CSR: keytool -certreq -alias tomcat -keystore Import Key Pair –> PKCS12. This could be different than the password used in the Unifi controller. The command to create the PKCS12 file is: openssl pkcs12 -export -in.

If you don’t have already please install openssl. Now we need to create a PFX (PKCS12) file which holds the just created cer file and the key file. Note: You don’t have to provide the Root CA certificate as this should already be present on the endpoints connecting to your Unifi controller. Start with your own SSL certificate and follow the chain up to the Root CA. If you have more than 1 intermedate certificate just add them all. Paste the certificate followed by the intermediate certificate(s). Open a new text file in notepad, or your favorite text editor. If you can open the file with the given password we need to replace the current self-signed certificate with your own certificate.įirst create 1 cer file which holds the certificate and intermediate certificate(s). try to open this file in keystore explorer with the correct password.Restart the controller and there will be a new keystore file generated.Note: You could also choose your own password here Edit /usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties and add line: =aircontrolenterprise.jks with the name of the keystore file you wish to create (it needs to be a JKS file). Replace the mypfxfile.pfx with the name of the PFX file you want to convert to a Java keystore (JKS). Rename current keystore file so the controller can’t use it anymore (or just delete it) keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore mypfxfile.pfx -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore clientcert.jks -deststoretype JKS.If you can’t open it with password: aircontrolenterprise then you need to make sure the controller is using this password. Open the current keystore file in “ Keystore Explorer“. The keystore file is located in: /usr/lib/unifi/data (Linux) or %UserProfile%/Ubiquiti Unifi (Windows). The keystore file must have alias: unifi.The keystore file must have password: aircontrolenterprise (can be changed).In this file the whole certificate chain and key file must be included The controller works with a keystore file.But they made it a bit to complex 😉 Read article.įirst let me explain what kind of certificate the Unifi controller wants to have:

Ubiquiti has a little article on the site how to add yout own ssl certificate to your Unifi controller.
