Importing the public CA certificate into the AE Services trust certificate store

Last Updated : Oct 24, 2019 |

Procedure

  1. Import the public CA certificate into the AE Services trust certificate store using the AE Services Management Console as follows:
    1. Using the AE Services Management Console navigate to Security > Certificate Management > CA Trusted Certificates
    2. Click the Choose File button and upload the OpenSSL-generated CA certificate you created above. Give it an alias name, for example myCA and click Apply
      Note:

      The CA certificate must be imported before the signed server certificate can be imported into the AE Services server in the next step.

  2. Import the myserver.crt file created in the previous step into the AE Services server using the AE Services Management Console.
    1. Using the AE Services Management Console, navigate to Security > Certificate Management > Server Certificates
    2. Click the Choose File button and upload the new AE Services server certificate, that is myserver.crt you created above. Select the alias you chose when creating the CSR, that is server or aeservices from the drop down menu and click Apply
      Note:

      Make sure that the AE Services server and the server where the CA was created are properly time synchronized to an NTP server.

  3. Import the public CA certificate into the AE Services related clients trust certificate stores.
    Note:

    Repeat the CSR creation and subsequent steps for different AE Services servers and use the same CA to sign each of the CSRs. This way all the AE Services clients only need to know one CA certificate, that signed all the AE Services server certificates.
