Replacing certificates for InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager - communication from client tier to services tier in WAS ND

InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager is installed with self-signed certificates that are used to encrypt communication between components that run on the services tier and components that run on the client tier. You can replace the default certificates with your own certificates to improve the security of this communication. You can replace them with either new self-signed certificates or certificates signed by a certification authority. The client tier computer, where most import bridges are installed, uses WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile. The services tier computer can use either WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. In general, communication between the two tiers occurs in two directions. Each direction uses a different certificate. These instructions describe how to change the certificate used for communication from client tier to the services tier. In general, the information secured by this certificate consists of metadata that comes from the metadata interchange server on the client tier during an import.
