Issue: I’m troubleshooting the ATF headless browser setup on Ubuntu via a MID server. How can I generate IT-approved certificates instead of self-signed ones? Any suggestions?
In my experience, moving from self-signed certificates to IT-approved ones on the ATF headless setup was more about coordinating with our internal CA team than tweaking the browser settings. I had to submit a request to our certificate authority with the proper identification and configuration details to match the required security policies. It was important to verify that all settings in the MID server pointed correctly to the new certificate, ensuring that both the certificate chain and trust store were updated. Coordination with our IT security team helped resolve any issues during the transition.
Based on my experience, moving away from self-signed certificates on ATF headless setups involves a more integrated approach with your internal certificate authority. I configured a certificate signing request on the MID server and submitted it for processing via our IT-approved CA. This ensured that the certificate matched our security parameters and proper trust relationships were established. It required careful updating of configuration files on the MID server to reference the issued certificate. Reviewing the entire certificate chain and ensuring compatibility with both the ATF headless browser and the server’s configuration was key to preventing connectivity issues.
