To use the Edgenexus SSL Certificate Manager, you must ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place. Failure to have these will lead to a failure to produce useable certificates.
1. You will need to ensure that you have an EdgeADC with a licence installed. The license can be for an evaluation or one that has been purchased.
2. A VIP configured on HTTP Port 80 the ADC for the purposes shown below.
3. You must have a public IP address available that is redirected to the VIP using HTTP Port 80. This measure ensures that the Let's Encrypt systems can connect and validate the DNS ownership for the SSL you will generate.
4. An entry must be made in your DNS for the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). This entry will point to the public IP address. This measure ensures that the FQDN for which you are generating the SSL certificate is valid in terms of IP addressing.
