Importing the SSL Certificate Pair

The PFX file created in the previous step must now be imported, on all Windows servers in the Discover environment, including the server on which it was created.

About this task

To import the PFX, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt (cmd).
  2. Change directory (cd) to <Discover Installation Directory>\Tools\.
  3. Run the command DCSTool.exe import TLScert.pfx <password>.
    The earlier command assumes you created the certificate pair naming the file TLScert.pfx as in the earlier example. For the password, enter the password used when creating the certificate pair.

    During import the key pair is extracted from the PFX file and saved in a hidden directory C:\ProgramData\Unica\Discover\security\. Paste this path into the address bar in Windows Explorer to access the directory.

Results

Three files are created:
  • discover.crt (certificate / public key)
  • discover.p12 (private key)
  • server.tls.xml (configuration information)
