Setting up a registered domain and SSL certificate for a Sage X3 environment involves several steps, including domain registration, DNS configuration, and obtaining and installing an SSL certificate. Here is a detailed guide to help you through the process:

Step 1: Register a Domain

1. Choose a Domain Registrar: Select a domain registrar such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.
2. Search and Register Your Domain: Use the registrar’s search tool to find an available domain name. Once you find an available domain, follow the registrar's instructions to register it.

Step 2: Configure DNS Settings

1. Log in to Your Domain Registrar: Access the domain management section.
2. Set Up DNS Records: Add DNS records to point your domain to the IP address of your Sage X3 server.
   • A Record: Create an A record pointing your domain to your server's IP address.
   • CNAME Record: If using subdomains, create CNAME records pointing to the main domain or other relevant targets.

Step 3: Obtain an SSL Certificate

1. Choose a Certificate Authority (CA): Select a CA such as Let’s Encrypt, DigiCert, or Comodo.
2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR):
   • Log in to your Sage X3 server.
   • Use a tool like OpenSSL to generate a CSR. The command typically looks like this:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr

1. • Fill in the requested information (country, state, organization, etc.).
2. Submit the CSR to the CA: Follow the CA's process to submit the CSR and validate your domain (via email, DNS, or file upload).

Step 4: Install the SSL Certificate

1. Download the SSL Certificate: After validation, the CA will provide the SSL certificate files.
2. Install the SSL Certificate on Sage X3:
   • For Apache, you might edit the httpd.conf or ssl.conf file to include:
   • Copy the certificate files to your Sage X3 server.
   • Configure the web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx, or IIS) to use the SSL certificate.

Apache

 SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/yourdomain.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/yourdomain.key

SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/intermediate.crt

For Nginx, you might edit the server block to include:

Nginx

listen 443 ssl;

ssl_certificate /path/to/yourdomain.crt;

ssl_certificate_key /path/to/yourdomain.key;

For IIS, use the IIS Manager to import and bind the certificate to your website.

Step 5: Configure Sage X3 to Use HTTPS.

1. Update Sage X3 Configuration: Ensure that Sage X3 is configured to use HTTPS.
   • Access the Sage X3 management console or configuration files.
   • Update any URLs or settings to use https://yourdomain.com.
2. Test the Configuration: Access your Sage X3 environment through the domain with HTTPS to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Step 6: Redirect HTTP to HTTPS (Optional)

1. Configure Web Server Redirection:
   • For Apache, you can use a .htaccess file or server configuration to redirect HTTP to HTTPS:

Apache

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

1. • For Nginx, you can add a redirect in the server block:

Nginx

server {

  listen 80;

  server_name yourdomain.com;

  return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

}

By following these steps, you should be able to set up a registered domain and SSL certificate for your Sage X3 environment, ensuring secure and trusted access to your system.
