How to store the customer digital certificates into XI Visual Admin

[Former Member]

Guys,

We got 3 files from my customer( 2 .der files and 1 .crt file)

When we use option Load it just creating the one entry. But I think CIDX adopter expecting the pair to configure the sender agreement.

If we use CREATE option and create the pair, It looks like we are creating new public key, Is that way to store the customer certificates?

Can any one tell us how store the customer certificates into XI Visual Admin Tool.

Thanks

Hi Murali,

You will have to do the following steps

1. In the KeyStorage of Visula Admin, create a view for ClientCertificates.

2. Place all your certificates in /usr/sap/trans/certs (vit will give it the same name as the filename. This can be changed after import if required)

3. Then create the entries.

Now you might also have to impoort the Trusted CA Certificates. You can do this in the TrustedCAs view.

Remeber...any user who is trying to access these certificates should have the access to the view. this can be ensured as follows

1. Go to Security Provider Cluster

2. Under the components, go to keystore-view.ClientCertificates

3. Under that, go to security roles

4. In the Reference Administrators, under the role reference, give security role to be all.

Hope this helps.
