Import and assign the signed public certificate

After you configure your application to use SSL, you can use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to import your signed certificate and assign it to your application.

To import your certificate and assign it to your application to complete the process of configuring SSL, follow these steps:

  1. Start DCM.
  2. In the navigation frame, click Select a Certificate Store and select *SYSTEM as the certificate store to open.
  3. When the Certificate Store and Password page displays, provide the password that you specified for the certificate store when you created it and click Continue.
  4. After the navigation frame refreshes, select Manage Certificates to display a list of tasks.
  5. From the task list, select Import certificate to begin the process of importing the signed certificate into the *SYSTEM certificate store.
    Note: If you have questions about how to complete a specific form in this guided task, select the question mark (?) at the top of the page to access the online help.
  6. Next, select Assign certificate from the Manage Certificates task list to display a list of certificates for the current certificate store.
  7. Select your certificate from the list and click Assign to Applications to display a list of application definitions for the current certificate store.
  8. Select your application from the list and click Continue. A page displays with either a confirmation message for your assignment selection or an error message if a problem occurred.

With these tasks complete, you can start your application in SSL mode and begin protecting the privacy of the data that it provides.
