Click on the Next Step and Finalize your Free order > Now you will need to validate your IP or Domain name:

In case you are using a Domain name, simply add a CNAME record in your DNS admin panel. In case you are using an IP address, please follow the steps shown below:

Here you are instructed to download a txt file and place it in the following directory:

.well-known\pki-validation

In order to create such folder you will have to create a Virtual Folder:

1. Create a folder on the C-drive, name it “well-known”. Create another folder named pki-validation. Example: C:\well-known\pki-validation

2. Place the text file in the “pki-validation” folder.

3. Open the IIS Manager on the server, right-click on your site and select Add Virtual Directory....

4. In the Alias entry fill in “.well-known” and in the Psychical Path entry fill in the path to the Well Known folder. Example: C:\well-known

End with OK, the folder and files within should work properly now and are reachable over the Internet.

You are now ready to verify the IP or Domain name:

Go to Certificates and select to Download the certificate of your IP or Domain:

After downloading the ZIP file, extract it on your local machine and now we need to convert it into PFX file. Go to the following website:

https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html

On the Type to convert, change to PFX/PKC5#12:

Then this page will load:

Choose the 3 files as shown above and click on the “Convert Certificate” button.

Three files will be generated (PFX, CRT, KEY) - copy them to the PC that runs the IIS Server.

Select “Server Certificates” :

Click on Import... :

Select the PFX file that was generated in the previous section or your own certificate and click OK.

3. How to assign a certificate to your MAWi site

Click on Bindings > Add...

Change the Type to HTTPS >

Hostname should be set with your DNS assigned hostname > 

Tick the ‘Require Server Name Indication>

Restart your Site:

Perform the same for the MAWWeb.Server site.

4. The last step is to change the config file for the gateway:

Go to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Monitors AnyWhere\Web.Client\assets\config

Edit the file: development.json

Change to the following:

{

"host":"https://myhostname.com",

"api":"https://myhostname.com/api/",

"Debugging":true

}

Replace “myhostname.com” with your own hostname or IP address.

Once done, you can try logging in to MAWi dashboard over SSL:

5. Connect MAWi Client over SSL

Local Gateway IP: set with your own hostname or IP
