Management and Security Server requires a certificate to connect to the Security Proxy. You can generate a self-signed certificate or import a CA-signed certificate and private key.
This form generates a self-signed Management and Security Server certificate that can be used to connect to the Security Proxy. If a self-signed server certificate already exists, the certificate generated here will replace it.
To generate the certificate:
Enter the Common name of the site on which the certificate will be installed, such as hostname.company.com (for an external site) or hostname (for an internal site).
Enter the required information.
Open Advanced Settings, and confirm or change the settings, as desired.
Click +GENERATE and VIEW DETAILS to verify your entries.
If a server certificate and private key already exist, the imported key pair will overwrite them.
To import the key pair:
Copy the file containing the certificate and the private key into this folder on the Management and Security Server:
UNIX: /var/opt/microfocus/mss/mssdata/certificates
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\MSS\MSSData\Certificates
Enter the required information.
Keystore file name: the file that contains the certificate
Keystore password: that protects the file that contains the certificate
Friendly name: so you can easily identify the certificate
Click IMPORT.
