Comment on How to secure a Rails app on heroku with SSL (Firesheep) by Joe Ellis

Thanks so much for this article, it was an immense help! I have a site that already exists that I’m porting over to heroku, so this was perfect to see the entire process before I migrate things over and have to implement the SSL.

This is a fantastic article, thank you. I think there is one error though, and that is with these two lines:

4. > cat my.tiroapp.com.crt gd_bundle.crt > tiroapp_combined.crt

5. > cat my.tiroapp.com.crt host.key > host.pem

Shouldn’t line 5 be:
cat tiroapp_combined.crt host.key > host.pem ?

Otherwise you lose the intermediate file. I think.

The same thing in Javascript should work fine.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this complete walkthrough.

I’ve found out that RapidSSL users will run into trouble with Firefox unless they add the Intermediate Certificate the way Heroku recommends (if you don’t, only Firefox seems to tell your visitors that the certificate is invalid. Tests with RapidSSL also fail).

You can find the RapidSSL Intermediate Certificate here: https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/library/VERISIGN/ALL_OTHER/RapidSSL%20Intermediate/RapidSSL_CA.pem

If you’re a RapidSSL user, you can ignore the following step in this tutorial:

4. > cat my.tiroapp.com.crt gd_bundle.crt > tiroapp_combined.crt

You can go on with step 5 and with removing the passphrase and, before adding the certificate to Heroku, do this:

cat RapidSSL_CA.pem >> nopassphrase.pem

Now you can go ahead with adding the certificate to Heroku:

heroku ssl:add ssl-cert/nopassphrase.pem ssl-cert/nopassphrase.key

That should do it.

Cheers,
Alex
