To import a certificate using the Certificate Management application
Use this to import either a CA certificate or a self-signed server certificate that has
already been saved on a local drive. Your certificate administrator may have saved this
on a network drive, and will give you the location and filename to use, or may have sent
it to you in an email or on a floppy disk.
• Start the Certificate Management as described above and open the
PcommClientKeyDB.kdb file (password required).
• Use the Drop-Down box just below Key Database Content (middle of the screen) to
choose
Signer Certificates.
• Click the Add button (on the right). You will see the Add CAs Certificate from
a File dialog.
- Make sure the Data Type is Base 64 Encoded ASCII. (That is what that block
of random characters is.)
- Change Certificate File Name from *.arm to *.txt and click Browse .
- Find the directory where you saved the Download Certificate web page (eg
the Desktop).
- Find the file you saved (eg Visara SSL1000 Certificate Download.txt) click on it,
and click Open .
• This will return you to the Add CAs Certificate from a File dialog. Click OK .
If the file is a valid certificate it will report the import was successful. You are now
ready to run an SSL secured TN3270 session with PCOMM.
