Importing the server certificate into AE Services management console

About this task

From the AE Services Management Console follow this procedure to import the AE Services server certificate into the AE Services Management Console. This procedure assumes that your certificate is in PEM format. If your certificate is in another format, see Converting Certificate files in other formats for AE Services.

noteNote

Always install just the server certificate (as opposed to a PKCS7 certificate chain), but be sure to select Establish Chain of Trust as indicated in Step 4b.

Procedure

  1. If you have a certificate that is about to expire, you can install a new certificate without impacting AE Services. Before the server certificate expires, select the server certificate on the Server Certificate page and delete it. Once you have deleted the expired server certificate, restart the AE Server. When AE Services restarts, the newly-installed certificate will go into effect.
  2. Complete the Server Certificate Import page, as follows:
    1. From the Certificate Alias list box, select the alias you used to generate this certificate request.
    2. Accept the default for Establish Chain of Trust (by default it is selected).
    3. Click Browse to locate the signed server certificate file you want to import.
    4. Click Apply.

    If the import is successful, AE Services displays the message: Certificate imported successfully.
