Installing SSL on App Engine was super difficult to figure out.

For me it was difficult because google asked me for two pieces of information and I had no idea how to reconcile that with what my SSL provider had given me.

The key information for me was that:

  • The PEM encoded X.509 certificate is what your certificate issuer probably sent you in an e-mail (mine just sent the text to me, didn't even have a file extension, I think this is normally the .csr file, but I'm not sure)
  • The Unencrypted PEM encoded RSA private key is your .key file after you run this command on it: `openssl rsa -in domain.key -out domain.pem

I found setting up SSL for App Engine more difficult than it should be so I made a service specifically designed for App Engine to make it better: https://www.volcanicpixels.com/ssl/

SSL on your domain will not work for pre-Honeycomb android if you use SNI: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl

i made it but how: 1st of all you need a trusted certificate.

You will get the warning in the browser ... and if you organized a cheap certificate you will end up in buying a more expensive as you will find out that on e.g. android device it is not trusted. And Google will help with a bot warning: Googlebot noticed your site, https://www.abc.com/, uses an SSL certificate which may be considered invalid by web browsers ... To correct this problem, please get a new SSL certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA) that is trusted by web browsers.

I tried one for 19€ and i am ending with the untrusted message on android and the Googlebot message as above. It would be great to implement a certificate procedure that leads to a realy trusted and not too expensive certificate in Google Apps SSL Tab.

You need to buy a certificate from a trusted certificate provider. You might want to have a read of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority#Providers

Or search for something like "Certificate Providers" on your favorite search engine.
