Import a CA certificate

About this task

To make the CA certificate known to the Data Movers, you must import it. You can provide a path and import a file or cut and paste the text.

Steps

  1. To import a CA certificate, use this command syntax:

    $ server_certificate <movername> -ca_certificate
    -import [-filename<path>]

    where:

    <movername> = name of the physical Data Mover with which the CA certificate is associated

    <path> = location of the file to be imported

    NOTE: The CA certificate can be in either DER or PEM format. You can only paste text in PEM format at the command prompt. If you specify -filename and provide a path, you can import a CA certificate in either DER or PEM format.

    Example:

    To import a CA certificate, type:

    $ server_certificate server_2 -ca_certificate -import

    Output:

    server_2 : Please paste certificate data. Enter a carriage 
    return and on the new line type ‘end of file’ or ‘eof’ 
    followed by another carriage return.
  2. After the certificate text is pasted correctly, the system prompt is displayed.
