Instructions below will lead you through all the steps of making the request as well as importing the requested certificate. Importing a certificate can still be managed through the Admin Console.

Request and Instal a Custom SSL Certificate In the FileMaker Server Admin Console > Configuration>General Settings > Server Information, the Server Name should be entered with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), i.e.mit.edu.These instructions are for Windows servers only the various file paths and FileMaker CLI commands will differ for Macintosh servers.Refer to Installing and Configuring FileMaker Server for more information on that process. The following assumes that your server machine has already been set up with FileMaker Server installed and configured.If you are using IS&T's managed hosting service, you do not need to worry about this process it is all handled for you.Instructions for configuring FileMaker Server to use SSL and requesting and installing a custom SSL certificate are provided here with the caveat that this process is best done by someone with server administration experience. Instructions for Enabling SSL and Installing a Custom SSL Certificate
This default certificate is intended only for test purposes, and a custom SSL certificate is required for production use. The FileMaker Server application ships with a self-signed SSL certificate that does not verify the server name. A critical component of this function is the SSL certificate residing on the server. SSL allows for the encryption of data passed between FileMaker Server and FileMaker clients, as well as the web browser-based FileMaker Server Admin Console. Certain settings and features may differ for prior versions. Note: The information on this page is accurate for FileMaker Server 17. In a changing computing landscape these recommendations in no way offer a guaranteed maintenance or risk-free hosting environment. The following web page offers MIT-specific configuration recommendations to help mitigate against security risks in the FileMaker hosting environment. Only experienced server administrators should attempt to do so, particularly where databases with sensitive data and/or mission critical functions will be housed. NOTE: IS&T recommends that IS&T Managed Servers be used for hosting FileMaker databases.
