Installing Digital Certificates

REN servers require digital certificates to work in SSL mode. The servers pick up the certificates from the keystore in the PeopleTools database or an external keystore. The certificates must be imported into PeopleTools database from PeopleTools, and then Security, and then Security Objects, and then Manage Digital Certificates. Certificates that are installed in the database will have a unique combination of certificate type and alias.

The certificate type that is used for the server should be of the type CERT, and the alias is <machine name>.<domain name>. When the certificate is configured with a unique alias name, it should be associated with the REN server that is SSL-enabled. The REN server loads its server certificate from the database at the start-up.
