System Certificate Creation and Management

Before you configure SSL or TLS secure connections, you create, exchange, and store certificates for Secure External Authentication Server and the entities with which you communicate. Depending on your security policy, how you deploy Secure External Authentication Server, and the client applications that you communicate with, you may have to distribute your public key to entities and store certificates from client applications, LDAP servers, and end users.

This section explains how to generate and store self-signed and CA-signed certificates for the server, import certificates, configure the secure listener port, configure access to the keystore and trust store, and configure a secure connection between a remote GUI and server.
