Associating a certificate with the File Transfer Protocol server

If you did not assign a certificate to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server application during the creation of the local certificate authority (CA), or if you have configured your system to request a certificate from a public CA, you need to associate the certificate with the FTP server. To associate a certificate with your FTP server, follow these steps:

1. Start IBM^® Digital Certificate Manager. If you need to obtain or create certificates, or otherwise set up or change your certificate system, do so now. See Configuring DCM for information about setting up a certificate system.

2. Click the Select a Certificate Store button.

3. Select *SYSTEM. Click Continue.

4. Enter the appropriate password for *SYSTEM certificate store. Click Continue.

5. When the left navigational menu reloads, expand Manage Applications.

6. Click Update certificate assignment.

7. On the next screen, select Server application. Click Continue.

8. Click i5/OS TCP/IP FTP Server.

9. Click Update Certificate Assignment to assign a certificate to this FTP Server.

10. Select a certificate from the list to assign to the server.

11. Click Assign New Certificate.

12. DCM reloads to the Update Certificate Assignment page with a confirmation message. When you are finished setting up the certificates for the FTP server, click Done.
