Autodesk SSL Certificate

For IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities to access Autodesk Platform Services, the app server must make an SSL connection to Autodesk cloud services.

About this task

The app server must trust the Autodesk SSL Certificate. Typically, Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) browsers and app servers include the signer certificate from most major certificate authorities so they trust any certificate that is signed by these certificate authorities including those used by Autodesk Platform Services. However, high security app server deployments do not include any certificate authority certificates in the app server trust store as part of the base installation. This means that the app server does not trust the Autodesk certificates and connections to Autodesk Platform Services fail with an SSL Handshake exception. To resolve this, the certificate authority public root certificate used by Autodesk Platform Services must be imported into the app server trust store. There has been some variance seen in the certificate presented by Autodesk Platform Services both over time and by region, so these steps may need to be periodically repeated. The procedure varies by app server.
