Importing a certificate into a key repository

 

Before you import a personal certificate in PKCS #12 format into DCM, first import the corresponding CA certificate.

Perform the following steps on the machine to which you want to import the certificate:

1. Access the DCM interface, as described in Accessing DCM.

2. In the navigation panel, click Select a Certificate Store. The Select a Certificate Store page displays in the task frame.

3. Select the Other System Certificate Store check box and click Continue. The Certificate Store and Password page displays.

4. In the Certificate store path and filename field, type the IFS path and filename you set when Creating a new certificate store.

5. Type a password in the Certificate Store Password field. Click Continue. The Current Certificate Store page displays in the task frame.

6. In the Manage Certificates task category in the navigation panel, click Import Certificate. The Import Certificate page displays in the task frame.

7. Select the radio button for your certificate type and click Continue. Either the Import Server or Client Certificate page or the Import Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate page displays in the task frame.

8. In the Import File field, type the filename of the certificate you want to import and click Continue. DCM automatically determines the format of the file.

9. If the certificate is a Server or client certificate, type the password in the task frame and click Continue. DCM informs you that the certificate has been imported.
