1. Re: SSL Certificate: PEM or PKCS7 encoding?

This may need to go to the VizAlerts forum since it appears to be an issue for that unsupported application. For the expert help there I'm calling in Jonathan Drummey & Matt Coles.

Charles Ayotte-Trépanier Jan 10, 2017 11:07 AM (in response to Toby Erkson)Hi Toby,
This question is not VizAlerts related.
I happened to read that Apache web server seem to require certificate with PEM-encoding while trying to configure VizAlerts. Configuring VizAlerts allowed me to realize that I might have not configure SSL properly.
My question is strictly regarding SSL configuration, and the type of encoding I should be using for the SSL certificate I'll use for Tableau Server.
Thanks!

1 of 1 people found this helpfulThat instruction is related to the Python libraries we use in VizAlerts, not Apache. And the file you provide VizAlerts is a CA certificate bundle file, which simply tells it which certificate authorities are trustworthy. If your SSL configuration on Tableau Server is working fine, and you're getting the lock icon in your browser when you connect, then fret not--all is well.

Lock icon in browser = good. That's a language I can understand
