Installing the certificate and key from a PKCS12 file

If the certTool utility did not generate a CSR to obtain a certificate, you must install both the certificate and private key.

About this task

Store the certificate and private key in a PKCS12 file. The CA sends a PKCS12 file that has a .pfx extension. The file might be a password-protected file and it includes both the certificate and private key.

Procedure

  1. Copy the PKCS12 file to the bin directory of the adapter.
    For UNIX operating systems:
    home/itim/agentdirectoryname/bin
    For example: home/itim/UDBAgent/binFor example: home/itim/NotesAgent/bin
    For Windows operating systems:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\ISIM\Agents\adapter_nameAgent\bin
    For example: C:\Tivoli\Agents\UDBAgent\binFor example: C:\Program Files\IBM\ISIM\Agents\NotesAgent\bin
  2. At the Main Menu prompt for the certTool, type C to display the following prompt:
    Enter name of PKCS12 file: 
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. At Enter name of PKCS12 file, type the name of the PKCS12 file that has the certificate and private key information and press Enter. For example, DamlSrvr.pfx.
  4. At Enter password, type the password to access the file and press Enter.

Results

After you install the certificate and private key in the adapter registry, the certTool displays Main Menu.
