Extracting a signer certificate
WebSphere Application Server uses the certificates that reside in keystores to establish trust for a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. The first step in enabling IBM Process Designer users to access is to extract the appropriate signer certificate from the remote WebSphere Application server. The extracted certificate is saved as Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) file that you can then install in your local trust store.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to acquire the signer certificate.
- Log in to the administrative console for the remote application server as an administrator.
- In the navigation panel, click Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates.
- Click NodeDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates.
- Enable the root option, and then clickExtract.
- Enter the path and file name to which you want to save the certificate.
- Set the Data type field to the value Binary DER data.
- Click OK.
What to do next
Install the signer certificate in the IBM Process Server trust store.
