Configuring Cognos Analytics to use an existing certificate authority (CA) certificate

You can configure Cognos® Analytics to use an existing external certificate authority (CA) certificate and private key pair.

Using this process, you can also configure a corporate wildcard certificate, and a certificate that was issued by the CA without using the ThirdPartyCertificateTool to create the certificate signing request (CSR).

The configuration steps must be performed on each computer where the following Cognos Analytics components are installed: Content Manager, the Application Tier Components, the gateway, and the client components such as Framework Manager, and other components if you use them.
