Procedure

  1. Launch your web browser and enter https: //hostname:secure_port/ProcessCenter/login.jsp where hostname is the fully-qualified domain name of the process center server, and secure_port is the process center secure SSL port number.

  2. On the Security Alert window, click View Certificate.

  3. On the Certificate window, click the Details tab.

  7. Click Finish. After you have created the SSL certificate, you can import it into the Java JRE that you will be using for Integration Designer.

  8. Copy the certificate to IIDInstall\jdk\jre\bin where IIDInstall is the directory where installed Integration Designer.
  9. Switch to the same location in the command line and run the keytool command line as follows:

    1. keytool.exe -import -v -file <certificate file> -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts
      If you previously imported SSL certificates into the Integration Designer, add the -alias <key name> parameter to specify a different key name to avoid name conflicts. The default value is mykey.

    2. Enter the keystore password: changeit (this is usually the default password)

    3. Enter y at the prompt to trust the certificate.
