Can I use a self-signed certificate?

No you can't use self-signed certificates to integrate with your local HTTPS webservices.

How can I quickly check if my certificate is invalid?

If you attempt to call your HTTPS webservice on superdomain.com domain and if your certifiate is invalid, you will get an error message in your browser.

In Chrome, if you try to open https://superdomain.com and if the certificate is invalid you'll see:

Invalid certificate Chrome

In Firefox, if you try to open https://superdomain.com and if the certificate is invalid you'll see:

Invalid certificate Firefox

If you see one of the error messages above, your certificate is invalid, and RunMyProcess will refuse to perform HTTPS connection with your domain.

If you try to configure HTTPS SOAP connectors on RunMyProcess, and if your certificate is invalid, you'll see this error message:

What kind of SSL certificate should I use?

To establish a connection with anonymous users (ex: a secured website accessible by anyone), a certificate must be signed by a certificate authority. This third party certifier will provide the end user with the proof that the certificate really belongs to its claimed organization.

Domain names are listed inside the certificate.
