Trying to get http receiver to work for scanning API

I'm trying to get the http receiver(with HTTPS) to work for scanning API. On http it works fine, but Meraki requires https. I went here:

 

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/scanning-api/overview/#overview

 

And tried the resources provided, but the documentation is old, and they don't mention, for instance, enabling HTTPS for the cmxreceiver, because it wasn't required back then I suppose.

 

I've learned a bunch of new stuff along the way, like how to get HTTPS working on an apache server amongst other things, but I can't for the life of me get one of these receivers to work with HTTPS. I can find a million howto's on HTTPS/certs and apache, just nothing on this specifically. 

 

Does someone have a link to a resource where I can read about getting HTTPS to work on this?

Since I have it working on my Ubuntu box right now. Certs for SSL work on Apache, and they are here ready to go. Or if not that, any other resource. I'll do this on an Ubuntu or Windows box and try any software.

One important thing to know is that you must have a valid public SSL certificate.  You can not use a self signed certificate.

Yeah, I actually learned to do that and got it working on an Apache server, which was cool. Now, I just need to find out how to get the cmx receiver to utilize it.
