General Discussion

Hi,

Has anyone had success with getting Lets Encrypt certificate installed on Ejabberd?

I've installed it a few times over by xmpp.net always reports certificate score = 0.

Anyone in the forum can put me in the right direction please.

Thanks,
Sans

Hi,

I assume you have setup letsencrypt SSL on your server. If you are on linux, it should be at this path /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/xxxxx inside this location look for the 2 keys privkey.pem and fullchain.pem

You will need to create the PEM cert using the 2 keys above. Do the following on your console terminal.

cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/fullchain.pem >> /home/ejabberd/conf/ejabberd.pem

Once done go to your config file "ejabberd.yml" and set the relevant SSL cert at the listening port. Make sure your relevant SSL cert points to /home/ejabberd/conf/ejabberd.pem. Configure the cipher and others accordingly. You may refer to the sample link below provided by processOne.
