Retrieve from port
Use this page to retrieve a signer certificate from a remote SSL port. The system connects to the specified remote SSL host and port and receives the signer during the handshake using a trust manager. The signer SHA hash displays for validation and, if approved by an administrator, is added to the currently selected trust store.

Configuration tab
- Host
Specify the host name to which you connect when attempting to retrieve the signer certificate from the SSL port.
Data type: Text
- Port
Specify the SSL port to which you connect when attempting to retrieve the signer certificate.
Data type: Text
- SSL configuration for outbound connection
Specify the SSL configuration that is used to connect to the previously specified SSL port. This configuration is also the SSL configuration that contains the signer after retrieval. This SSL configuration does not need to have the trusted certificate for the SSL port as it is retrieved during validation and presented here.
Data type: Text Default: DefaultSSLConfig
- Alias
Specify the certificate alias name to reference the signer in the key store, which is specified in the SSL configuration.
Data type: Text
- Retrieved signer information
Signer certificate information if it is retrieved from the remote host and port.
- Serial number
Specify the certificate serial number that is generated by the issuer of the certificate.
- Issued to
Specify the distinguished name of the entity to which the certificate was issued.
- Issued by
Specify the distinguished name of the entity that issued the certificate. This name is the same as the issued-to distinguished name when the signer certificate is self-signed.
- Fingerprint (SHA Digest)
Specify the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA hash) of the certificate, which can be used to verify the certificate's hash at another location, such as the client side of a connection.
- Expiration
Specify the expiration date of the retrieved signer certificate for validation purposes.
