Install a certificate in your server to provide a secure HTTPS connection
To support HTTPS on your GpsGate account you need to install a valid certificate.
This article is part of the How to enable HTTPS on your GpsGate platform.
Installation
- Set the Server Hostname (Site Admin > Settings > Server Hostname)
- Install a valid certificate that works with the server's Hostname (domain name)
You can obtain an SSL certificate for a domain from a trusted third-party Certificate Authority like GlobalSign.

1. On Windows, you can double-click on such a file to install it.
2. Follow the installation wizard. In the Certificate Store Location step, choose Local Machine, as shown in the picture below:

After the installation of the certificate is done, continue with the necessary steps to obtain HTTPS on GpsGate.
