Print PDF

Some  features are available in artica 1.4.020223 version.

When you change the certificate trough artica Interface, be careful of the "common name" field that represents the fully qualified name of your server.

if you have troubles to connect trough the interface after modify the certificate  while certificate has been trusted in you navigator, you must rollback your common name setting.

Here its the process to change the common name by command line :

use :

/usr/share/artica-postfix/bin/artica-install --change-certificate hostname servername.domain.tld

has servername.domain.tld is you server name.

By default if the host name set have no domain, artica will add ".local" suffix automatically

If you want to force generate a certificate without domain suffix use "strict" token :

/usr/share/artica-postfix/bin/artica-install --change-certificate hostname servername strict

Note:  you can use --verbose at the end of the command line to display more informations.
