Distributing certificates to all Conference Managers

If you installed Media Manager servers on separate computers or as separate cell profiles, you must extract the signed security certificate from the Sametime® SIP Proxy/Registrar. Then add the certificate to all Conference Manager servers that are installed on separate computers or as separate cell profiles. This step does not apply if you installed all components of the media manager on the same cell profile.

Before you begin

Extract the certificate used by the SIP Proxy/Registrar and copy it to a location from which each Media Manager server can copy the file.

  1. Log in to the WebSphere® Application Server Integrated Solutions Console on the server that has the SIP Proxy/Registrar certificate.
  2. Click Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > NodeDefaultKeyStore > Personal certificates.
    • In a non-clustered environment, the certificate is on the same computer as the SIP Proxy/Registrar component.
    • In a clustered environment, the certificate is on the WebSphere Application Server proxy used by the SIP Proxy/Registrar.
  3. Select the Alias default if you used a self-signed certificate or select the appropriate signed certificate you want to share and click Extract.
  4. Type a unique file name for the signed certificate.
  5. Copy the extracted certificate to a location from which the Media Manager server can retrieve the file.

About this task

Follow these steps to add a signed certificate to each Media Manager server.

Procedure

    c:\sip-pr.cer
