Importing SSL Certs in v4
From TDiWiki
Importing SSL certificates is a two-part process (assuming the SSL license key is already installed on the server):
- Creating the certificate on the ConsoleWorks server
- Importing the certificate into each browser that will be accessing ConsoleWorks via SSL
This Wiki entry assumes that the server-side process has been done.
[edit] To import client-side SSL certificate
- You need local Administrator privileges to do this.
- If you're running Windows 7, you need to start your browser in Adminstrator mode
- You need to do this on each computer that is going to make SSL connections in your ConsoleWorks environment.
- Close all browsers on the desktop.
- Open only ONE browser and connect to ConsoleWorks.
- On the ConsoleWorks menu, click SECURITY > SSL Certificate.
- Read the notes, and click Continue.
- In the Alias box, enter a unique name. You can use the Host Name of the machine or the ConsoleWorks Invocation name. You can change the alias, but you can't reuse names.
- Leave the Password Field blank.
- Click Import. If a 'Warning Security' message appears, click Yes to continue.
- The resulting page should display “Certificates have been imported successfully”
- Close the browser to seat the certificate in the computer's certificates store.
- Test: Open the browser, connect to ConsoleWorks, and attempt to connect to managed asset. Connection should be SSL-encrypted.
