Importing Signer Certificate to WebSphere Application Server

Importing Signer Certificate to WebSphere Application Server

First of all let us create a self-signed certificate and extract the certificate to  “C:\Users\Prasanth\Desktop\Misc\cert.arm”  (You can refer my previous blogs to know about self-signed certificate creation)

Below (Figure 1) is the certificate which I have created. Note down the values in red box, The Application Server Trust Store should contain the same values if imported properly.

                                                                      Figure 1

  

Open the WebSphere Application Server Admin Console and Navigate to the mentioned path in Figure 2 (SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > CellDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates > Add signer certificate)  Provide an Alias name for the certificate, Mention the path of the certificate you want to import  and press Apply

                                                       Figure 2

Next screen will provide you the details of the certificate, Compare the values with figure 1 (certificate created) and make sure that the values are correct. Save and synchronize the nodes.

                                                     Figure 3

Now you can see the imported signer certificate
