How to set up SSL certificate for redirecting a subdomain to localhost

[stevenzhu]

Hi,

@John56789

What steps am I missing to get this working?

You might want to try a "Private CA", which will allow a certificate to be issued to localhost or local addresses.

Public CAs are not allowed to issue a local certificate (e.g. 127.0.0.1 or localhost whatsoever)

I received the SSL certificate files for my company’s subdomain (ca_bundle.crt, certificate.crt, and private.key). I installed both of the .crt certificates on my dev machine just like I did for the self-signed certificates, and also bound the listening port in the same way, but I can’t get it to work properly. And when I try to browse directly to https://localhost:44301 in Chrome (when the listener is running), I get the error page: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

It should give you an error claiming "Common Name not match" (since you are using local domains)... However, for reason that your server is responding with Connection Reset... I have no clue...

P.S. Go to serverfault might help you more.
