Hi all,
I’m new to the community and have just opened a small practice. I have been running into some issues trying to get my laptop (used in the Exam/Treatment room) to recognize OpenEMR’s SSL certificate on the main computer where it is installed (front desk).
Here’s my set up:
I have a desktop (where OpenEMR is installed) and a laptop both connected to my gateway via ethernet. They are both running Windows 11 and on the same LAN. I have installed OpenEMR with XAMPP.
I was unable to get the certificate generator to work in OpenEMR (possibly because it’s running in XAMPP?), but I was able to generate an SSL certificate in XAMPP using the makecert.bat. I then created a virtual host (“example.local”) and v3.ext file and successfully installed the certificate on the main system and configured apache to reroute port 80 traffic to port 443. I then installed the certificate into the browser of my laptop (in the “Trusted root certificates” folder), but I continue to get the “Not Secure” message when I get to the logon screen on my laptop.
I am not sure if the certificate is not being recognized because in order to get to the logon page, I type the other computer’s ip address into the url, and the certificate is for “example.local,” or whether it is not being recognized because my browser is simply from a second computer. In the v3.ext file, I added an alias DNS with the ip address of the main computer, but that didn’t seem to resolve the issue either.
At this point, the gaps in my knowledge are apparent, and I don’t know how to remedy the situation. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Bryan
