      Error Messages Common with SSL Certificate Configuration

      Common Error Messages

      • NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
      • Failed+to+reissue+SSL+certificate.+Error+-36+(The+certificate+has+already+expired)
      • SSL_ERROR_BAD_SERVER

      Troubleshooting:

      1.   Check the [ssl-certificate-domain-name] was entered correctly in the Keystore path.

      • An SSL certificate domain name example:  5ab4321c0d123.streamlock.net.
      • Enter your StreamLock domain name in place of "[name]" in the Keystore path.

      2.    Confirm your password for the certificate is correct.

      • The password you created when downloading the Streamlock Certificate will need to be entered when configuring Wowza Streaming Engine to use the StreamLock certificate. Check that the KeyStorePassword value in [install-dir]/conf/VHost.xml is correct. 

      3.   Check the host port configured for SSL.

      • The httpsPort number must be different from the httpPort number (8080).
      • Make sure there's no other service running on the same computer that's using the newly assigned httpsPort port number.
      • We suggest port 443 for SSL.
      • Check that the port you are using is open to the firewall.
      • If you are using a port other than 443, please replace 443 with the port number you are using.For example if you use port 8443: wss://5f044adxxxx.streamlock.net:8443/webrtc-session.json

      4.  Check the StreamLock certificate expiration date.

      • After a StreamLock certificate has expired it can no longer be renewed, you will have to create a new StreamLock certificate and adjust any playback links that were using the previous certificate.
