Importing a Trusted Certificate

You must create a trusted relationship between the Management Station and its Remote Appliances.

From the Administration > SSL Certificate > Trusted Certificate tab, you must import the current certificate of the Management Station into the Remote Appliance, and vice versa.
Important: You must perform this procedure in the following scenarios:
  • For each Remote Appliance in the setup
  • Every time the certificate of a Remote Appliance changes

Procedure

  1. On the Management Station, copy the text from the Current Certificate field.
  2. On the Remote Appliance, paste the current certificate of the Management Station into the Import Trusted Certificate field and click Import.
    The new trusted certificate is imported from the Management Station and installed on the Remote Appliance. Though the Remote Appliance web server automatically restarts, log collection on the Remote Appliance is not affected.
  3. Because the Management Station uses two-way authentication, you must repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to paste the current certificate of the Remote Appliance into the Import Trusted Certificate field of the Management Station.
    The new trusted certificate is imported from the Remote Appliance and installed on the Management Station. Though the Management Station web server automatically restarts, log collection on the Management Station is not affected.

Result

Two-way authentication is established between the Management Station and its Remote Appliances.
