If
the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager server
is only available on an https protocol, the Eclipse client
cannot use the update site. To resolve this, you must add the public
certificate of the server to the Eclipse client.
These instructions
are for a Windows® computer
with a Firefox browser.
Instructions for Linux® are
similar.- Save the certificate.
- Access the Rational Asset Manager web
client using a browser.
- Double-click
the security icon in the status bar. The
Security window opens.
- Click View
Certificate.
- In the Certificate
Viewer, click the Details tab.
- On the
Details page, click Export.
- In the Save Certificate to File window, select X.509
Certificate (DER) in the Save as Type list.
- Click Save.
- Optional: Create the keystore.
You can use
an existing keystore or create a new one. To create a new keystore,
run the following command from a command prompt:
keytool.exe -genkey -keystore ram.keystore -storepass ibmram
The
keystore will contain the keys for the Eclipse client.
- Import the certificate to the keystore.
- From a command prompt, run the following command to
import the certificate:
keytool.exe -import -alias [server] -file [server].der -keystore ram.keystore -storepass ibmram
Where
server is the name of the server with
Rational Asset Manager server.
- Type yes to accept
the certificate
and press Enter.
- Verify that the certificate
was added to the keystore.
- Launch
the Eclipse client from a command prompt using the
following command:
eclipse -vmargs -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="drive:\path\to\certificate\ram.keystore" -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=ibmram
Where
drive:\path\to\certificate\ram.keystore is the full path to the ram.keystore
file.
Eclipse will start and will trust the connection
with the server.
