Importing a Secure Sockets Layer Server’s Certificate into the Truststore
This step is needed only if the SSL server’s certificate cannot be validated with certificates already in the default truststore.
To import an SSL server’s certificate into the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications truststore:
| 1. | Obtain a certificate from the SSL server administrator. Its file name will be servcrt in the rest of these instructions. |
| 2. | Copy the default truststore from flexnet_agent_install_dir/jvm/lib/security/cacerts to a location accessible from, but outside, the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications installation. Its file name will be <truststore> in the rest of these instructions. |
| 3. | Install or locate the Java JDK. Verify that the keytool utility is accessible at the command line in the new truststore location. |
| 4. | Load the SSL server certificate into the new truststore location. If the certificate is in a format parse-able by the keytool utility, type the following: |
keytool -keystore <truststore> -import -alias mykey
-file servcrt -trustcacerts
If it is not in a format parsable by the keytool utility, consult the documentation from the SSL server administrator.
