    I'm using one cert for the ISPConfig interface and the mail.
    Which name? Depends on your server hostname.
    If you own domain example.com name your server something like hosting.example.com and use that to order the cert.

    And how can i setup this one cert? I mean the file store place or links ect.
    I mean that with the name question. So my hostname is szerver.xy.hu so i set this to cert.
    Possible to do with some free cert?

    Do you use ISPConfig 3.1 or newer?

    If you own the domain xy.hu you can do that yes.
    I used startssl.com for free (class 1) SSL certs, but Firefox removed them from the trusted authorities list so that's an issue.
    SSL certs are not that expensive though :)

    Follow this guide to secure your ISPConfig server:
    https://www.howtoforge.com/securing...h-a-free-class1-ssl-certificate-from-startssl

    They are talking about startssl.com in that guide but you probably best replace them with a paid cert or google for free ssl certs (I know there are websites that give you a Let's Encrypt cert based on a csr).
    But the further steps stay the same :)

    ISPC 3.1 has integreated support for Let's Encrypt. Getting a SSL cert is as simple as installing certbot and then click two checkboxe.

    I know but you would still have to make the changes described in the tutorial in order to make the cert work for ISPConfig right?
    And also follow these steps to secure postfix etc.
