Copying the IBM Cognos certificate to another server

To add the IBM® Cognos® certificate to the trust store on other servers, you need to copy the certificate to the server.

For multi-server environments, you need to export all Cognos Analytics authority certificates for every install containing an active Content Manager, and import them into target web servers, for which trust is needed.

Procedure

  1. Go to the install_location/bin directory.
  2. Extract the IBM Cognos certificate by typing the following command:

    • On UNIX or Linux® operating systems, type

      ThirdPartyCertificateTool.sh -E -T -r destination_file -p NoPassWordSet

    • On Microsoft Windows operating systems, type

      ThirdPartyCertificateTool.bat -E -T -r destination_file -p NoPassWordSet

  3. Import the certificate to the trust store on your server.

    For information on updating the server trust store, see the documentation for your server.
