In the role of administrator of
Enterprise Server, you need to install the SSL server certificate so that remote client software and Web users can request it. Installing a
certificate entails storing the certificate and key file in a folder accessible to the server software.
Note: The DemoCA is intended to provide certificates and keyfiles for development and testing purposes.
Micro Focus strongly recommends that commercial certificates are used for production environments.
To install a server certificate:
- Connect to ES Admin, for example by entering
http://localhost:86 in your Web browser.
- Select the enterprise server you want, such as ESDEMO. Stop it if it is started, and then click
Edit.
- Go to the
Listeners page.
- Select the HTTPS listener you want (if you can't see the one you want, set the
Process filter to
All), and click
Edit
.
- If
Secure Sockets Layer is not checked, check it and configure this listener as a secure listener.
- Enter the filenames of your server certificate and private key in the Certificate and Keyfile fields. If these are not in
the default directories, you also need to supply the paths to these files. For example:
-
ssldir/certs/srvcert.pem
-
ssldir/keys/srvkey.pem
Where
ssldir is the directory where Security Pack is installed, and is by default
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\DemoCA (Windows) or
/opt/microfocus/DemoCA or
$COBSSL (if set) (UNIX).
To find out the
Windows
directory, look up the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Micro Focus\DemoCA\1.0\Setup\DemoCAFolder.
Note: Enterprise Developer supports DER, CER, PKCS #7, PKCS #8, PKCS #12 and PEM certificate file formats and PKCS #8, PKCS #12 and PEM for key file
formats.
- Click
OK.
