After you receive signed certificates from the Certificate
Authority (CA), import the certificates into the host system where
the Web Services Proxy and SAN Manager interface is installed.
- You must be
logged in with a user profile that includes Security admin permissions.
Otherwise, certificate functions do not appear.
- You have received signed
certificates from the CA. These files include the root certificate,
one or more intermediate certificates, and the server certificate.
- If the CA provided a chained certificate file (for example, a
.p7b file), you must unpack the chained file into individual files:
the root certificate, one or more intermediate certificates, and the
server certificate. You can use the Windows certmgr utility to unpack the files (right-click and select ). Base-64
encoding is recommended. When the exports are complete, a CER file
is shown for each certificate file in the chain.
- You have copied the certificate
files to the host system where the Web Services Proxy is running.
- Select Certificate Management .
- From the Management tab, select Import.
A dialog box opens for importing the certificate files.
- Click Browse to first select the root and intermediate certificate
files, and then select the server certificate. If you generated the
CSR from an external tool, you must also import the private key file
that was created along with the CSR.
The filenames are displayed in the dialog box.
- Click Import.
The files are
uploaded and validated. The certificate information displays on the Certificate Management page.
