You can upload and install a security certificate after a Certificate Authority has signed and returned it. The file that you upload and install must be a signed version of the existing self-signed certificate. A CA-signed certificate helps prevent man-in-the middle attacks and provides better security protection than a self-signed certificate.
Before you begin
You must have completed the following actions:
- Downloaded the Certificate Signing Request file and had it signed by a Certificate Authority
- Saved the certificate chain in PEM format
- Included all certificates in the chain, from the server certificate to the root signing certificate
You must be logged in as the OnCommand Administrator role to perform this task.
Steps
- Click .
- In the Configure Settings dialog box, click .
- Click Install HTTPS Certificate.
- In the dialog box that displays, click Browse to locate the file to upload.
- Select the file and click Install to install the file.
