Steps to install the cert for guac

  1. Connect guacamole server
  2. If you already have a certificate: Ensure it's in the correct format (PEM). If your certificate is in .pfx or any other format, you need to convert it to .pem format.
    1. Convert .pfx to .pem  
      1. openssl pkcs12 -in your_certificate.pfx -out your_certificate.pem -nodes                     
    2. Convert .crt and .key files to .pem
      1. cat your_certificate.crt your_private_key.key > your_certificate.pem
  3. If you need a certificate: Obtain one from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) or use a self-signed certificate
  4. Upload the certificate files "xxxx.pem" and "xxxx.key" to the "/etc/guacamole/certs/"
    1.  sudo cp your_domain.crt  /etc/guacamole/certs/
    2.  sudo cp your_domain.key  /etc/guacamole/certs/
  5. Update the filenames for certificateKeyFile, certificateFile and certificateChainFile in the "/var/lib/tomcat8/conf/server.xml" file.
    1.  sudo nano /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/server.xml

    Reference image:


    CertificateFile = "/etc/guacamole/certs/your_domain.crt"
    CertificateKeyFile = "/etc/guacamole/certs/your_domain.pem"
    CertificateChainFile = "/etc/guacamole/certs/your_domain.pem"
