Accepting the security certificate

When logging in, you might see a security alert with a message that says there is a problem with the security certificate. This indicates that the browser application is verifying the security certificate of the Jazz® for Service Management application server.

Self-signed or CA-signed certificate

The Jazz for Service Management application server uses a self-signed security certificate. You might see a Security Alert when you first connect to the console that alerts you to a problem with the security certificate. You might be warned of a possible invalid certificate and be recommended to not log in.

Although this warning appears, the certificate is valid and you can accept it. Or, if you prefer, you can install your own CA-signed certificate. For information on creating your own CA-signed certificate, go to: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/tsec_sslcreateCArequest.html

For more information about certificates, go to the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition Documentation Project at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/wasce/V2.1.1/en/overview.html, and search for Managing trust and Managing SSL certificates.
