9Configure the HCM Redwood Personalization Helper tool settings

You'll want to configure your HCM Redwood Personalization Helper tool settings before you run the tool.

You can access and configure settings including adding certificate files, adding proxy information, enabling logging, and defining allowed domains. Open the current installed version of the HCM Redwood Personalization Helper tool and click Settings.

Certificates

The Certificate Authority (CA) is responsible for issuing certificates that are installed on the server you connect to (in this case Fusion HCM environment). The certificates encrypt communication between the client and the server.

The tool can identify most common certificate authorities such as DigiCert, GeoTrust, Entrust, and so on. Sometimes, your Fusion HCM environment might be protected using certificates issued by a different authority (such as a certificate authority set by your company). The tool doesn't have the identity of such custom certificate authorities. In such cases, you need to import the custom certificate authority's certificate to the tool so the tool can connect to the HCM environment.

By default, your HCM environment uses certificates issued by a known issuer such as DigiCert Inc. After signing into your HCM environment from a browser, if you see the issuer is different, then you must import the custom CA's certificate.

  1. To view the certificate details from Firefox, sign in to your HCM environment.
    1. Click the Verified by icon next to the HCM environment URL.
    2. Select Connection Secure > More Information > Details.
  2. To view the certificate details from Chrome, sign in to your HCM environment.
    1. Click the View site information icon next to the HCM environment URL.
    2. Select Connection is Secure > Certificate is valid > Details.
Note: We recommend that you check with your network administrator to get the required custom CA certificates. For steps to export or import the custom CA certificates, see section 3.2.2.1 and section 3.2.2.2 in HCM Redwood Personalization Helper Tool (MOS Document 2999756.1).

Proxy

If your network uses a HTTP proxy through which all HTTP requests from your computer are routed (such as accessing web pages in the internet, REST APIs in Fusion HCM environment), then enter the proxy details in the tool. Go to Settings and add your Proxy Host, Proxy Port, Proxy User name, and Proxy Password.

Allowed Domains

By default HCM Environment URLs in domain extensions .com, .gov, .uk, .eu are supported. If other domain extensions require to be supported, it can be configured in Settings.
