Filemaker Server Certificate Issue

Questions

1

Afternoon,

I’m trying to connect filemaker node up to our filemaker server. We have an authority provided SSL installed (not a self signed) on the server but we still get the error “unable to verify the first certificate”.

The help files say to contact you as we’re on a hosted solution with N8N.

Hope someone can help!

hello @koolit

Cloud n8n accept only well-known SSL certificates. Customer’s internal certificates wouldn’t work. You can use a certbot to generate a proper certificate

Thanks, our certificate is a Thawte TLS RSA CA G1.

Surely this is good enough to work?

Turns out that we didn’t have an intermediate certificate installed.

Was all showing up correctly with a green padlock in a browser but this doesn’t mean it has a full certificate chain.

Big thanks to n8n support for pointing me in the right direction.
