Enabling SSL in BlueOnyx

The SSL connection instructions are as follows:

• Before you start connecting the SSL certificate, make sure that your server has port 443 open.
• Then go to the SSL Certificates section in the Servers menu of your BlueOnyx control Panel.
• Create an SSL certificate request by specifying the domain name for which you want to protect traffic.
• Save the SSL certificate request in the format.csr on your local machine.
• Order an SSL certificate from a licensed provider.
• Get an SSL certificate from the vendor and save it on the local machine.
• Upload the SSL certificate to the BlueOnyx server and import it into the BlueOnyx Control Panel.
• Start the certificate installation process and follow the instructions.
• After successfully installing the SSL certificate, restart the web server so that the changes take effect.
• Check the success of the SSL certificate installation by going over the secure HTTPS protocol to your site.

If the SSL certificate installation was successful, then a green lock should appear on your site in the browser address bar and the site address will start with "https" instead of "http". Next, check the operation of the SSL certificate using online checks, such as SSL Labs or Qualys SSL Test. Make sure that all links on your site also use HTTPS protocol to avoid security errors or SSL connection cancellation. Keep track of the validity period of the SSL certificate and update it in a timely manner.

Connecting an SSL certificate to BlueOnyx may take several steps, but it is very important to ensure the security of your site and visitor data.
