Hi everyone,
I've been struggling away trying to get a CA-generated SSL certificate installed in my NPrinting server.

Just an update for the September 2017 release of NPrinting. The above instructions still apply.
However, beware that upon upgrade from NPrinting June 2017 to NPrinting September 2017, any custom certificates are deleted.

Web Console: [proxy installation root]\proxy\webconsoleproxy\src\qlik.com\webconsoleproxy\conf\app.conf Add the following settings:
http.sslcert=.\src\qlik.com\webconsoleproxy\conf[certificate file name]
http.sslkey=.\src\qlik.com\webconsoleproxy\conf[certificate key] Qlik NPrinting June 2017 implements permanent configuration files.
The files are stored on folders:
%ProgramData%\NPrinting\newsstandproxy
%ProgramData%\NPrinting\webconsoleproxy
These paths are relative to the proxy conf folders. Qlik® NPrinting June 2017 release notes | 7 The upgrading process keeps these files and their content. Configuration files are removed only by
I wasn't aware it was even a bug in the first place!
I performed the upgrade as per instructions and they were deleted, June 2017 to September 2017.
It erased both the .crt and .key files, and also reset the .conf files back to default, so looks like the issue has arisen again
Dears,
Keep it very simple and follow my reply on post:
