Configuring certificate download preference

By default, client and MQ certificates can be downloaded multiple times. However, an Organization Administrator can set the preference to download client and MQ certificates from Self Service only once.

Procedure

Access Self Service with your IBMid.
Click the Self Service menu, and then click Organization preferences.
Select the Allow generated certificates to be downloaded only once option if you want to restrict the download of the generated certificates to only once for the user.
Click Update.

Results

When this option is enabled, the generated client and MQ certificates can be downloaded only once. After a certificate is downloaded, the private key for that certificate is deleted from the IBM system and the Download certificate option for that certificate is disabled for subsequent downloads.
