Dear friends,

I have a website working after a haproxy server. My website users can use their domain name and they can provide certificate files via website user admin section. How can i manage these SSL certificates in haproxy? They are user data and i can save them into pem files.

Thanks  
Steven Tr.

Put them into a directory and point haproxy to the directory. Of course you’d also need to schedule periodic or triggered reloads.

I’m looking for a solution that I do not need to reload while haproxy can still load new certs.

That’s not possible; you need to reload haproxy to pick up new certificates.

Note that you don’t need to stop/start it, you can send the USR2 signal to safely trigger a config reload.
