Hi!

In standard settings and installation, the webserver's certificate is stored in "C:\Program Files\PRTG Network Monitor\cert" or ""C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\cert", if you are running a 64 bit-machine. Just generate a new certificate for your prtg monitor's hostname and save it there. Base-64-coded cerftificates are working for me.

I hope I could help you.

Best regards, jdehn

Hi there,

You can also use the PRTG Certificate Importer to import the new certificate.

Best regards, Felix

Can the PRTG Certificate Importer be automated/support cmd-line parameters? Together with CertifyTheWeb post-run scripts this would allow 0-touch renewal!

If the tool allows the certificates to be exported to a directory, C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\cert\prtg.crt is the correct path. A service restart is necessary in order for PRTG to use the new one.

Kind regards,
