Retrieving SSL certificates from the TM1 Admin Server and TM1 servers

Deprecated in v2.0.9 After you have deployed the applications file, pmhub.war, to the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, the next step is to retrieve SSL certificates from the TM1® Admin Server and TM1 servers.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM WebSphere administrative console, expand Security and then click SSL certificate and key management.
  2. Under Related Items, click Key stores and certificates.
  3. Click the NodeDefaultTrustStore keystore.
  4. Under Additional Properties, click Signer certificates.
  5. Click Retrieve from port. Enter the following information:
    • In the Host field, enter the host name of the TM1 Admin Server.
    • In the Port field, enter 5498, the port number of the TM1 Admin Server.
    • In the Alias field, enter TM1AdminServer_cert.
  6. Click Retrieve signer information. WebSphere retrieves the SSL certificate from the TM1 Admin Server.
  7. Verify that the certificate information is for a certificate that you can trust.
  8. Click Apply, and then click Save.
  9. Repeat these steps for the TM1 servers you want to monitor with Operations Console.
    For example:
    • In the Host field, enter the host name of the TM1 server.
    • In the Port field, enter the port number of the TM1 server.
    • In the Alias field, enter TM1ServerName_cert.
    Tip: The port number of a TM1 server is configured in the tm1s.cfg file in the PortNumber parameter
  10. Save your changes.

What to do next

The next step is to configure outgoing communications between WebSphere and the TM1 Admin Server.
