  4. In the next tab enter the Cloud IP and Port. ( Example: IBM COS Management IP and Port = 443 ). Press the Next button.
  5. In the Add Certificate tab, enter a alias name. ( Example: CloudCertificate1). Press the Finish button.
  6. A window indicating that the certificate has been added successfully will appear. Select the Close button.
