Configuring self-signed certificates for Maximo Application Suite on Android devices

A self-signed certificate can be installed on the Maximo® Application Suite server for Android devices. The certificate must be imported on each Android device. This feature is intended for testing and development purposes and not intended for production use. Do not use self-signed certificates for production deployments as they can create a security vulnerability.

    2. Find and save the certificate of the root certificate authority.
    3. Copy the certificate file to the Android device.
  2. Install the certificate profile on the Android device.
    1. Open Android settings and then select Encryption & credentials.
    2. Select Install a certificate and then select CA certificate.
    3. Select the certificate file that you downloaded.
    4. After the installation process is complete, select Trusted credentials to ensure that the certificate was successfully installed.
