Obtaining and importing CA certificates
By default, BMC Atrium Single Sign-On is installed with a self-signed certificate. Although valid, this certificate causes warning messages when users access the server to perform authentication. The warning messages occur because the certificate is not signed by a CA.
To obtain and import a CA signed identity certificate
- Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
The CSR must be sent to a CA to be digitally signed and returned. The CA signs the CSR using a private key which validates the server's identity and returns a signed identity certificate.
See either Generating-CSRs-in-Windows or Generating-CSRs-in-UNIX - Import the CA certificate into the BMC Atrium Single Sign-On Tomcat server keystore.
See either Importing-CA-certificates-in-Windows or Importing-CA-certificates-in-UNIX - Stop and restart the Tomcat server.
Update all integrated application truststores with the new public key.
