6.3 Installing a Certificate from a Certificate Authority

To request and install a signed SSL certificate for the OMU web service:

1. Request a certificate for the OMU web service from a Certificate Authority, such as VeriSign.

   Note:

   In the certificate request, make sure to specify the host name or IP address of the system where the OMU web service is installed. The host name in the certificate must match the host name or IP address the web service uses. If they do not match, a failure occurs when Enterprise Manager attempts to invoke the web service.

2. After you obtain the certificate from the Certificate Authority, perform the following steps to install the certificate:

   1. Open a command prompt window and change the working directory to the adapters/conf directory in the OMU web service installation directory.

   2. Enter the following command to install the certificate, where <certificateFile> is the full path name of the file provided by the Certificate Authority:

      • Unix:

        $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -importcert -alias iwave -file <certificateFile> -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
        

      • Windows:

        "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool" -importcert -alias iwave -file <certificateFile> -keypass iwavepw -storepass iwavepw -keystore keystore.jks
