Manage Trust Certificates in an Environment Definition

Visual Builder Studio uses trust certificates to connect with external services. If a service/endpoint needs a special certificate, you can get it from the service you're trying to connect with, and then upload it from the Certificates tab on the Environments page. After you do that, any time you use that environment, you'll get all the certificates that were added to it.

You can use the Certificates tab to upload and remove certificate files for services. Uploading a service’s certificate file to the truststore will allow all applications that use that environment to communicate with that service. The Certificates tab displays a list of certificates that have been added. You can click Delete in a row to remove the certificate.

To upload a certificate:

  1. In the left navigator, click Environments Environments.
  2. Click the Certificates tab.

    The Certificates page displays a list of the trust certificates that have already been uploaded for the environment, similar to this:

  3. Click + Add Certificate to open the Add Certificate dialog.

    You use the Add Certificate dialog shown here to create an alias for the certificate and upload the service’s certificate file from your local system:

  4. Type the alias in the Alias field.

    The alias is used to identify the certificate in the table on the Certificates page.

  5. Drag the certificate file from your local system to the upload target area, or click the upload target area to browse your local system to locate, select, and add the file.
  6. Click Upload to add the certificate to the environment's truststore.
