Exchanging the SSL Certificate

The final step in setting up security for your application is to exchange the SSL certificate, which involves instructing WebSphere to automatically retrieve host, port, and alias settings from the signer certificate.

  1. On the left side of the console (under Security), click SSL certificate and key management.
  2. In the Related Items area on the right side of the console, click Key stores and certificates.
  3. In the Name column, click NodeDefaultTrustStore.
  4. In the Additional Properties area, click Signer certificates.
  5. Click Retrieve from port.
  6. Type the following information in the corresponding text boxes:

    Host: The host name of the SIMULIA Execution Engine computer.

    Port: The secure port number of the SIMULIA Execution Engine WebSphere instance. For more information on determining this port number, see Starting WebSphere and Determining Server Port Numbers.

    Alias: The host name of the SIMULIA Execution Engine computer.

  7. Click Retrieve signer information.

    Information appears near the bottom of the right side of the console.

  8. Click OK.
  9. Save the configuration.
  10. Log out of the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
  11. Restart the WebSphere server that is running the WebTop/WebDashboard.

    The configuration is complete.
