Import SSL certificate to set up trust association - IBM Connections


To prevent security alert pop-ups add IBM Connections certificates to the portal server. The signer certificate used by the IBM Connections server must be trusted by the portal server. The instructions for deploying the IBM Connections portlets include a procedure to import the SSL certificate. If you did not complete that procedure, import the certificate in order to use community pages. For best results, follow the procedures provided in the IBM Connections documentation.
