Custom SSL Certificates

The installer generates a self-signed certificate, so browsers show a security warning when you visit the appliance. To use your own certificate instead, replace the two files nginx serves:

  • /opt/sysward/sysward.cert — the certificate (include the full chain if your CA provides intermediates)
  • /opt/sysward/sysward.key — the private key

Then restart nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

The appliance now serves HTTPS with your certificate — no more browser warning, provided the certificate matches the hostname your users (and agents) use to reach the appliance.
