in my LAN i have a linux server with orthanc
i wanted to enable SSL so i don’t get the browser message that it’s not secure.
i followed the guide and enabled SSL, but the browser tells me it’s not secure
Hi,
This topic is not directly related to Orthanc but to SSL certificates in general.
Using a trusted SSL certificate in an intranet is not an easy task at all and we do not have generic documentation for that.
I can only advise you to search for “How to generate SSL certificates to use in an intranet” in your favorite search engine and you’ll realize that it’s not straightforward …

but you explain in your description that in a simple intranet I can use point 2.
My suggestion is to use Caddy as a reverse proxy. Caddy can automatically set up trusted ssl certificates from let’s encrypt (provided your installation is accessible on the public internet). Reverse proxy quick-start — Caddy Documentation
I was thinking about ngnix and reverse proxy
Hello,
A self-signed certificate will never be considered as secure by a generic Web browser. If you want to avoid security warnings, you’ll have to buy a true HTTPS certificate that is signed by a certificate authority (you could also use Let’s Encrypt), then put this certificate in a reverse proxy serving Orthanc. Again, the interfacing with nginx is explained in the documentation and this is not an issue specific to Orthanc.

Certbot is kind of nice once it is setup.
