This section describes how to manage SSL certificates in Messaging Server To run SSL on Messaging Server, you must either use a self-signed certificate or a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solution which involves an external Certificate Authority (CA). For a PKI solution, you need a CA-signed server certificate which contains both a public and a private key. This certificate is specific to one Messaging Server. You also need a trusted CA certificate, which contains a public key. The trusted CA certificate ensures that all server certificates from your CA are trusted. This certificate is sometimes also called a CA root key or root certificate.
When managing certificates, you do not need to type a certificate password or specify the password file. You can simply pass the password as -W argument. Example:
echo "password22" > /tmp/certdbpwd echo "password22" > /tmp/certdbpwd # ./msgcert list-certs -W /tmp/certdbpwd |
