      2. Click...

         In a clustered environment, the path is Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > CellDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates > Retrieve from port.

      3. Enter the remote search service server host, its SOAP port, and an alias.

      4. Click Retrieve Signer Information.

      5. Click OK.

      2. Navigate to Security > Global Security > RMI/IIOP security > CSIv2 outbound communications.

      3. Check Use identity assertion.

      4. When we are done, restart the portal server.
