Managing certificates for HTTPS connections

To establish an HTTPS connection between your Web redirector and EAServer, you must export the CA certificate (the signing authority’s certificate) that signs the user certificate for the HTTPS listener to which you want to connect. For example, if Verisign Class 1 Primary CA is the signer of the web_redirector_certificate that is assigned to an EAServer listener at port 8085, then you must install the Verisign Class 1 Primary CA certificate on your Web server host and mark it trusted for your redirector to connect to that EAServer listener.

There are several ways, depending on how you obtain and manage certificates, to export and install certificates. See Chapter 11, “Managing Keys and Certificates,” in the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
