Creating a new custom SSL certificate for FileMaker Server
All machines running FileMaker Server should have their own custom SSL certificate. To obtain a new certificate or replace an expired certificate, follow the process separately for each server, including both servers in a two-machine deployment plus the Standby server.
1. Obtain a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).A server’s SSL certificate should be based on that machine’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), for example, “myhost.mydomain.com”.
2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
