<h1 class="topictitle1">Import a certificate</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Review this information to learn how you can use Digital
|
||
|
|
Certificate Manager (DCM) to import certificates that are located in files
|
||
|
|
on your server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section">You can also import a certificate from another server instead of
|
||
|
|
recreating the certificate on the current server. For example, on<span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> A you used the Local CA to
|
||
|
|
create a certificate for your retail web application to use to initiate SSL
|
||
|
|
connections. Your business has grown recently and you have installed a new <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server (<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> B)
|
||
|
|
to host more instances of this very busy retail application. You want all
|
||
|
|
instances of the retail application to use an identical certificate to identify
|
||
|
|
them and initiate SSL connections. Consequently, you might decide to import
|
||
|
|
both the Local CA certificate and the server certificate from <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> A
|
||
|
|
to <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> B rather than to
|
||
|
|
use the Local CA on <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> A
|
||
|
|
to create a new, different certificate for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> B
|
||
|
|
to use.<p>Follow these steps to use DCM to import a certificate: </p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>In the left-hand navigation pane, click <span class="uicontrol">Select a Certificate
|
||
|
|
Store</span> and select the certificate store that you want to import
|
||
|
|
the certificate into. </span> The certificate store that you import the
|
||
|
|
certificate into must contain certificates that are the same type as the certificate
|
||
|
|
that you exported on the other system. For example, if you are importing a
|
||
|
|
server certificate (type) then import it into a certificate store that contains
|
||
|
|
server certificates such as *SYSTEM or an Other System Certificate Store. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the navigation frame, select<span class="uicontrol"> Manage Certificates</span>.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the navigation frame, select <span class="uicontrol">Import certificate</span>. </span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the type of certificate that you want to import and click <span class="uicontrol">Continue</span>.
|
||
|
|
The type of certificate that you are importing needs to be the same type of
|
||
|
|
certificate that you exported. For example, if you exported a server certificate
|
||
|
|
select to import a server certificate.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When DCM exports a
|
||
|
|
certificate in pkcs12 format, the issuing CA is included in the exported certificate
|
||
|
|
chain and is therefore imported automatically when the certificate itself
|
||
|
|
is imported into the certificate store by DCM. However, if the certificate
|
||
|
|
is not exported in pkcs12 format and you do not have the CA certificate in
|
||
|
|
the certificate store to which you are importing, you need to import the issuing
|
||
|
|
CA certificate before you can import the certificate. </div>
|
||
|

</li>
|

|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Complete the guided task to import the certificate. When you import
|
||
|
|
the certificate make sure that you specify the correct absolute path where
|

the certificate is stored on the server.</span></li>
