Installing TLS Certificate

The pages below indicate the steps for installing the final TLS Certificate files.

Installing TLS Certificate For Theatre Manager Server

Placing the TLS Certificate.

The Theatre Manager Server checks for updated approximately every 30 minutes. During this process it also looks for new TLS Certificate files. Placing the TLS Certificate files in the correct location on the server will ensure the next time the Theatre Manager Server checks for updates it pulls down the new TLS Certificate. This works successfully as long as the client is not blocking the connection or has automatic updates turned off.

  1. SMB to the certificates folder on smb://smb.west.artsman.com.
  2. Open the folder with the domain name matching the TLS Certificate.
  3. Create a new folder titled Replaced followed by the date. An example would be Replaced20210714.
  4. Drag and drop the content of the folder into the new replaced folder.
  5. Copy the TLS Certificate files created including the .csr, .key, .crt and .pem files into the certificate folder.

Manually placing the TLS Certificate.

  1. Gain access to the Web Server computer. This will be the machine in the DMZ if a DMZ is present.
  2. Open the Theatre Manager Server in a browser by navigating to 127.0.0.1:3012
  3. Select the Configure tab at the top of the window.
  4. Scroll down to the Transport Layer Security (TLS) section of the page.
  5. Drag and drop the TLS Certificate .crt, .key and .pem files onto the highlighted section.
  6. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
