Importing the Base Meeting Server's certificate to the Capture Server

On the computer hosting the IBM® Sametime® Meetings Capture Server, retrieve the SSL certificate from the Base Meeting Server and import it into the Capture Server.

Procedure

  1. First, look up the Base Meeting Server's host and port information as follows:
    1. On the computer hosting the deployment manager for the Base Meeting Server component, log in to the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.
      Typically, the Sametime System Console is the deployment manager, and the URL for the WebSphere console is:
      http://SSC_host_name:8700/ibm/console
      If you installed the Base Meeting Server in its own cell, then the deployment manager is hosted on the same server as the Base Meeting Server, so the URL is:
      http://Base_Meeting_Server_host_name:8500/ibm/console
    2. In the navigation list, click Servers > WebSphere application servers.
    3. In the list of application servers, click STMeetingServer.
    4. On the Configuration tab, click Ports.
    5. In the Ports table, look for SIP_DEFAULTHOST_SECURE and note the port number; you will use it later in this task.
  2. Now use that information to import the Base Meeting Server's certificate to the Capture Server as follows:
    1. On the computer hosting the Capture Server, log in to the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console as the WebSphere administrator.

      Access the console by opening a browser and navigating to the following address:

      https://Capture_Server_Host_Name:9043/ibm/console
    2. In the navigation list, click Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates.
    3. On the Key stores and certificates page, select NodeDefaultTrustStore.
    4. Click Signer certificates > Retrieve from port.
    5. On the Retrieve from port page, provide the Base Meeting Server's host name and port.
    6. Provide an alias for the Base Meeting Server's certificate.
    7. Click Retrieve signer information.
    8. Restart the Capture Server.
