-
Append the external Certificate Authority's certificate to:
$INSTANCE_HOME/sysman/config/b64LocalCertificate.txt
-
Ensure that only the following is appended to the
b64LocalCertificate.txt
file (that is, do not include blank lines or comments or any other special characters):-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <<<Certificate in Base64 format>>> -----END CERTIFICATE-----
-
Restart the OMS. Run the following commands:
emctl stop oms
emctl start oms
Note:
Do not run theemctl secure oms/agent
command after adding the external certificate to the b64LocalCertificate.txt
file. If you run the emctl secure
command later, then repeat the steps 1 through 3 to make sure the external certificate exists on the b64certificate.txt
file.
