Importing a Secure Socket 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 Admin 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 admin_install_directory/jvm/lib/security/cacerts to a location accessible from, but outside, the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Admin installation. Its file name will be <truststore> in the rest of these instructions.

3.

Install or locate the Java JVM. 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 parsable by the keytool utility, type the following:

keytool -keystore <truststore> -import -alias mykey -file servcrt -trustcacerts

If the certificate is not in a format parsable by the keytool utility, consult the documentation from the SSL server administrator.
