Integrating digital certificates

AS4 Microservice accepts PKCS12-encoded digital certificates that were exported from another IBM® application and allows you to import those certificates into AS4 Microservice.

About this task

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps. This migration ability facilitates the quick and easy transfer of digital certificates that you use in other applications.

If you want to transfer a PKCS12-encoded certificate from one application to another, the certificate and private key must be imported before they can be used. The process of importing the certificate places it in the correct certificate folder. The private keys are transferred with their certificates. This function also allows you to transfer a certificate and private key from one computer to another.
