Adding certificates from CAs

On receipt of a root or associated intermediate certificate from an issuing CA, add the certificate to the key database on all client and server computers that require an SSL connection. Similarly, to distribute a self-signed certificate that you have extracted from a server key database, add the extracted certificate file to all client computers.

Before you begin

If you obtained a required certificate (or certificate details) from a CA, first save the information as a .arm text file or another acceptable format such as .cer, to a temporary location. Your extracted self-signed certificate is already in .arm format.
