Any tricks to getting https with a certificate working on the pro scan web server?

seems Proscan only wants .pfx certificates. once i converted my cert via openssl all is well!

openssl pkcs12 -export -in certificate.cer -inkey privatekey.key -out certificate.pfx
Many software packages are moving to PKCS#12, since the key and cert are bundled together. It's just much easier for everyone to say "give me this file and the password" and the software takes it from there.

Also note that ProScan supports LetsEncrypt so you don't have to maintain it manually.

Glad you got it sorted!

I am using lets encrypt for this as well but not doing the enrollment on my scanner as I dont want to leave port 80 open. So every 90 days I will need to update. Really just geeking out as i dont expect to make avail without VPN
