<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>
