I have migrated from a V13 release of the WordPress appliance to the V14 and also migrated the WordPress site.  I cannot seem to get the default backend (Web Shell - SSH, Webmin, PHP Admin) to use the same certificate as the Wordpress site.  It is a wildcard and while I have added it a couple of time in the Webmin interface and it does show as current, it is not the one being served by the site.  Spent a few hours hacking at issue without success.  

 

At thsi stage I am wiling to live with it since I am the only one on the backend management, but the damn Chrome warnings are anoying and I know I had it on the V13 site without issue.

 

Thanks for any help.

As of v14.0 both Webmin and Webshell are now running behind stunnel. So you'll need to add your cert location to the stunnel config. IIRC Webmin does not have a stunnel module so you'll need to use the commandline. I generally recommend nano as it's an intuitive commandline text editor.
nano /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
And you'll need to adjust the line that currently reads something like this:
cert = /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem
Change it so that it points to your wildcard cert; something like this (obviously change it to the proper path of your cert):
cert = /etc/ssl/some-path/wildcard-cert.pem
Save your changes and restart stunnel:
service stunnel4 restart
If there are any issues stunnel restart will fail. If that happens double check your cert path.

Worked and added to the post deployment checklist.

Thanks!
