About this task

To configure WebSphere Application Server V8.0:
  1. Start the server and log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  2. Click Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > NodeDefaultTrustStore > Signer Certificates.
  3. Click Retrieve from port.
  4. In the Configuration page, enter the following information:
    • Host: type the host name of the server on which the signer resides.
    • Port: Type the port location on the host server on which the signer resides. The port location is not limited to ports on WebSphere Application Server. The ports can include Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) ports or ports on any server on which an SSL port is already configured, such as SIB_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS.
    • Alias: type an alias name for the certificate.
  5. Click Retrieve signer information. A message window displays information about the retrieved signer certificate, such as: the serial number, issued-to and issued-by identities, SHA hash, and expiration date.
  6. Click Apply. This action indicates that you accept the credentials of the signer.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Restart WebSphere Application Server.
