How do I download the myqnapcloud ssl certificate and private key

English General

I have been searching for a solution for this for days and seem to keep going around in circles.

What I want to do is use ddns and ssl so i have a secure link for my media server, either plex or emby.

I have already purchased a myqnapcloud SSL certificate, but seem unable to download the certificate and the private key.
After a bit of digging, I found I can go to the licence manager and eventually found a *.lif file, but this doesn;t seem to be in a format I can use.
If I look in SSL certificates in control panel, I get a message saying the certificate can’t be downloaded
Failing that, i could use a DDNS and SSL from no-ip, although I cant find a way to create a PKCS12 File by that method.

Is there a tutorial or some guidance out there ?

Using a TS-453A on QTS 5.2.3.3006

Thx

I use the free certificate from Let’s encrypt, in the panel it allows me to download, replace or restore it.

try in ssh:
find /etc -name “.pem"
find /share -name ".pem”

Look for files named certificate.pem, server.crt, privatekey.pem, or similar.

  • Common paths for myQNAPcloud certificates:
    • /share/HDB_DATA/.qpkg/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert/cert
    • /share/HDB_DATA/.qpkg/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert/key
    • /etc/stunnel/certificate.pem
    • /etc/stunnel/privatekey.pem

List Files in Likely Directory**: If the find command points to /share/HDB_DATA/.qpkg/QcloudSSLCertificate/, check the contents

Then
cat /share/HDB_DATA/.qpkg/QcloudSSLCertificate/cert/cert

PLEX installs already have an SSL cert via app.plex.tv, why would you need to replace that?

And besides the transport encryption, this does not protect your NAS…just to clear that up, as so many malware infected people were shocked to find that out.
