Importing a signed certificate issued into the keystore
A Certificate Authority (CA) creates a certificate from a certificate request. WebSphere® Application Server keystore receives the certificate from the CA and generates a CA-signed personal certificate that your Sametime® Gateway Server can use for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security.
Before you begin
About this task
Make sure the certificate file you have received does not contain any text lines before the " -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" line. These lines can cause the certificate import process to fail, and therefore you must delete these lines if they are present in the certificate file.
